TL;DR: The IAU Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements (WGPSN) as mentioned in this paper takes into account the IAU working group for planetary system Nomenclature and the International Astronomical Union (IAUWCN) definition of dwarf planets, and introduces improved values for the pole and rotation rate of Mercury, returns the rotation rates of Jupiter to a previous value, and adds the equatorial radius of the Sun for comparison.
Application of photometric models to asteroids.
TL;DR: In this paper, the brightness of a rough and porous surface is parameterized in terms of the optical properties of individual particles, by shadowing between particles, and by the way in which light is scattered among collections of particles.

Alan W. Harris,J.W. Young,Edward Bowell,Leonard J. Martin,Robert L. Millis,Markku Poutanen,F. Scaltriti,Vincenzo Zappalà,Hans Josef Schober,H. Debehogne,K.W. Zeigler +10 more
TL;DR: This article used Fourier analysis to obtain composite lightcurves of the five asteroids designated 3 Juno, 24 Themis, 60 Echo, 261 Prymo and 863 Benkoela over the 1978-1984 period.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Critical review of theoretical models of negatively polarized light scattered by atmosphereless solar system bodies
Yu. G. Shkuratov,Karri Muinonen,Edward Bowell,Kari Lumme,Jouni Peltoniemi,Mikhail A. Kreslavsky,D. G. Stankevich,V. P. Tishkovetz,N. V. Opanasenko,L. Y. Melkumova +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase-angle dependence of the degree of polarization observed at small phase angles has been analyzed and it was shown that interference or coherent backscattering mechanism is the most promising model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical Ranging of Asteroid Orbits
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new method, termed statistical ranging, applicable to poorly observed single-apparition asteroids having two or more observations, and examined the Bayesian a posteriori probability density of the orbital elements using a Monte Carlo technique that maps an unbiased hypervolume in element phase space.
