Abstract
The article presents preliminary results of polarimetric monitoring of near-Earth asteroids (NEA), carried out with 2.6-meter telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory and the 2-meter telescope of the Terskol Peak Observatory. As part of the observations, 19 phase dependences of NEA polarization were obtained, and for such data were obtained for the first time for 17 asteroids, which significantly supplemented the existing polarimetric database. Near-Earth asteroids can be observed at large phase angles, which allows us to significantly expand our knowledge of the phase dependences of asteroids of different spectral classes—S, C and E. An asteroid with an extremely high degree of polarization, 25 330 (1999 KV4), has been discovered, reaching 38.5% at a phase angle of 75.7°, which suggests the presence of sublimation-dust activity. In addition, asteroids 52768 and 159402 exhibited similar orbital parameters and polarization values, suggesting that they are parts of the same parent body.
期刊介绍:
Solar System Research publishes articles concerning the bodies of the Solar System, i.e., planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoric substances, and cosmic dust. The articles consider physics, dynamics and composition of these bodies, and techniques of their exploration. The journal addresses the problems of comparative planetology, physics of the planetary atmospheres and interiors, cosmochemistry, as well as planetary plasma environment and heliosphere, specifically those related to solar-planetary interactions. Attention is paid to studies of exoplanets and complex problems of the origin and evolution of planetary systems including the solar system, based on the results of astronomical observations, laboratory studies of meteorites, relevant theoretical approaches and mathematical modeling. Alongside with the original results of experimental and theoretical studies, the journal publishes scientific reviews in the field of planetary exploration, and notes on observational results.
