... 1.2 Completed PC 4746 (Investigation of the Dynamics of Binary Asteroids) The Planetary Camera was used to make four images of the asteroid KLOPA-216 which is suspected to be a binary asteroid based on its unusual light curve. ...
... The asteroid 1979 OW7/1996 N2 exhibited similar behaviour in 1996 and again in 2002; the initial outburst was ascribed to a collision, but the second event suggested that the activity is intrinsic to the asteroid. ...
... The asteroid Ceres has undergone more changes in classification than most ... suggested that it should be called an "asteroid" (star-like body), since it was ... becoming, with Pluto, a "dwarf planet", the only such body within the asteroid belt ...
... 1.5 Completed FGS 7488 (A Search for Main-Belt Binary Asteroids) The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make astrometric observations of the main belt asteroid EUNOMIA to search for a possible companion moon/asteroid. ...
... 1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6559 (An Imaging Study of Asteroids) The WF/PC-2 was used to make multi-color observations of the main = belt asteroid 54-Alexander. ...
... Observations of the outer planets and KBOs in our Solar System indicate that giant planets migrated during the period of Late Heavy Bombardment, destabilizing asteroids in the Main Asteroid belt and delivering water-rich asteroids to Earth. ...
... This paper also follows the tidal disruption of a rubble pile asteroid around a white dwarf and makes a prediction that stars may have up to 800x the mass in their asteroid belts compared to the Solar System. ...
... 1.6 Completed FOC/96 5175 (Physics of Asteroids: Cycle 4) The Faint Object Camera (F/96) was used to make observations of the asteroid Vesta to look for surface features and to determine the shape and diameter of the asteroid. ...
... 1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 8583 (Imaging Snapshots of Asteroids) The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain images of the fifty largest main belt asteroids that have favorable apparitions during cycle 9. ...
