You can read about your Eros sign position and what it has to say about you (or about your lover/potential lover) here: Our interpretations of Eros in the zodiac signs, and/or… Asteroids are small Solar System objects that originate from times preceding planet formation. Typically, when rotating about its principal axis of inertia, an asteroid exhibits a periodic change of brightness caused by the varying part of its surface being both illuminated by the Sun and visible to the observer. On one hand, a photometric lightcurve is the result of photometric observations extending over a time span covering a substantial part of the rotation period or more. On the other hand, a photometric phase curve is the result of observations of the change in an asteroid’s apparent brightness obtained at different epochs during a single apparition, corresponding to a slowly changing Sun-observer-object geometry.

Then you look at the speed in longitude value, whether it is positive or negative. This value is found in xx[3].

Next, the middle table shows the lunar sign ingresses (or sign changes). These are separated because the Moon changes signs so much more frequently than the Sun and other planets/bodies. The void Moon times are also displayed. We have extended the Bayesian lightcurve inversion methods to allow for full retrieval of phase functions with their uncertainties and applied the methods to a set of some 500 asteroids with both ground-based and Gaia photometry. In comparison to earlier work, certain differences are seen in the mapping from apparent phase curves to intrinsic phase functions. These differences may derive, to an extent, from the scarce amount of Gaia DR2 photometry, and we expect to resolve the issues with the forthcoming Gaia DR3 photometry.

Vesta points to devotion to a higher purpose, hard work, structure, tradition, obsession, and righteousness.The reflection coefficient in Eq. 5 belongs to a class of photometric models consisting of a Lommel-Seeliger-type volume-element part and a part describing scattering among volume elements in a particulate medium (e.g., Lumme and Bowell, 1981; Muinonen and Lumme, 1991). Note that the four major asteroids, included in the monthly ephemerides above for the year 2023, are Ceres, Juno, Vesta, and Pallas. Also added are Eros, Sappho, Psyche, and Chiron. This was a custom ephemeris built using the excellent and highly recommended software program, Sirius 3.0. Tools for Greater Understanding & Fulfillment On some screens, you’ll see this asteroid ephemeris better through the following PDF (be sure to resize as needed). Note that it’s an Eastern Time ephemeris instead of a UT one as above: AsteroidsEphemeris2009

The MCMC inverse methods are based on proposal probability densities characterized with the help of the so-called virtual least-squares solutions and are described in detail by Muinonen et al. (2020). In what follows, we introduce the error models for the observations and the algorithm for the retrieval of absolute magnitudes and phase functions from DR2 photometry. 3.1 Error Models for Observations The ephemerides above show the daily positions, month to month in the year 2024, of the four major asteroids, Chiron, and select minor asteroids.

Osculating orbital elements table Lightcurve inversion for the GS-asteroid data was carried out using Lommel-Seeliger ellipsoids and general convex shapes for two principal cases: one where all of the lightcurves were assumed to represent relative photometry and the other where all were assumed to represent absolute photometry. In addition, two error models were studied for each of the principal cases: the first model assigned a unit weight for each ground-based lightcurve, whereas the second model differed for the relative and absolute photometry as described in Section 3. Consequently, the analysis consisted of 8 different case studies. The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors, without undue reservation.
