... For moving objects such as asteroids, comets, or planets, it is useful to include ephemeris information, both to provide predicted coordinates for planning observations, and to allow accurate airmass calculations in the reductions. ... These times can be given either as Modified Julian Dates ( ), or as ordinary date strings like 1995 Jan 23.0 . To allow good interpolation, include two ephemeris entries before and two after the interval of observations. ... UT date --- column label: DATE . ...

... 2015 . ... Observations using the Arecibo S-band (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) planetary radar system started in 1976 and its power and sensitivity were greatly improved with the telescope upgrade and Gregorian-dome installation in the mid-1990s. Below, we show the number of near-Earth asteroids attempted and detected since the radar program resumed in 1998. ... The number of NHATS objects detected with Arecibo similarly jumped in 2012, and 2015 was again a record year, where we detected 23 of these objects. ...

Automatic Detection of NEOs in CCD Frames . ... CCD frames obtained with modern telescopes with robotic operation allow carrying out standard observation programs for detection of peculiar objects on stellar backgrounds, as is the case of Near Earth Objects (NEOs). ... In this paper, we present original algorithms for automatically detecting dim NEO images in telescope frames, considering both sidereal and differential tracking [2]. ...

In 1950 Jan Oort noticed that . no comet has been observed with an orbit that indicates that it came from interstellar space, . ... From this he proposed that comets reside in a vast cloud at the outer reaches of the solar system. ... Unfortunately, since the individual comets are so small and at such large distances, we have no direct evidence about the Oort Cloud. ... Its orbit is intermediate between the Kuiper Belt and what was previously thought to be the inner part of the Oort Cloud. ...
