The Distribution of Basaltic Asteroids in the Main Belt
Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Robert Jedicke, Eric Gaidos +4
We present the observational results of a survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as can…
A Spectroscopically Unique Main Belt Asteroid: 10537 (1991 RY16)
Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Samuel Lawrence, Robert Jedicke +4
We present visible and near-infrared reflectance spectra and interpreted surface mineralogy for asteroid 10537 (1991 RY16). The spectrum of this object is without precedent amongst…
Orbit Determination with Topocentric Correction: Algorithms for the Next Generation Surveys
Andrea Milani, Giovanni F. Gronchi, Davide Farnocchia +4
Given a set of astrometric observations of the same object, the problem of orbit determination is to compute the orbit and to assess its uncertainty and reliability. For the next g…
Efficient intra- and inter-night linking of asteroid detections using kd-trees
Jeremy Kubica, Larry Denneau, Tommy Grav +7
The Panoramic Survey Telescope And Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) under development at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy is creating the first fully automated…
The Size-Frequency Distribution of Dormant Jupiter Family Comets
Kathryn Whitman, Alessandro Morbidelli, Robert Jedicke
We estimate the total number and the slope of the size frequency distribution (SFD) of dormant Jupiter Family Comets (JFCs) by fitting a one-parameter model to the known population…
Identifying Near Earth Object Families
Hai Fu, Robert Jedicke, Daniel D. Durda +2
The study of asteroid families has provided tremendous insight into the forces that sculpted the main belt and continue to drive the collisional and dynamical evolution of asteroid…
