Zapraszamy na seminarium pt.: "Inversion of asteroid photometry - recent progress and prospectsfor future". Seminaria odbywają się co tydzień, w czwartki o godz. 13:00 w budynku Obserwatorium Astronomicznego UAM przy ul. Słonecznej 36.
Data: 12 maj 2022
Referat wygłosi: Prof. Josef Ďurech (Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic)
Abstrakt:
Photometric observations of asteroids can be used for the reconstruction of asteroids’ shapes and rotations states. So far, the technique of lightcurve inversion has led to convex shape models of several thousand asteroids. I will briefly review the main principles of the lightcurve inversion, discuss its results – the distribution of asteroid spin axes in the main belt and collisional families, and show some “non-standard” cases – changing rotation period due to the YORP effect, non-principal axis rotation, and others.
