POSITIONAL CATALOGUES OF SATURN’S AND JUPITER’S MOONS
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
In the framework of the UkrVO national project (http://ukr-vo.org/) we have started the processing of photographic observations of Saturn’s (S1-S8) and Jupiter’s (J6-J8) moons. Observations were conducted during 1961–1993 with three astrographs DLFA, DWA, DAZ and Z600 reflector. Plate images were digitized as tif-files with commercial scanners. Image processing was carried out by specific software package in the LINUX-MIDAS-ROMAFOT environment with Tycho2 as reference. The software was developed at the MAO NASU. Obtained positions of objects were compared with theoretically predicted ones in IMCCE (Paris) (www.imcce.fr/sat) online. Rms error of divergence between observed and calculated positions is of 0.20”–0.35”.

PHOTOMETRY OF COMET С/2009 P1 (GARRADD) BEFORE AND AFTER PERIHELION
During the period from September 2011 to February 2012, photometric observations of comet C/2009 P1 (Garradd) were performed on the 0.6-m telescope MC AMED at the peak Terskol (North-Caucasus). The paper presents an anal...
HEAT MODELS OF ASTEROIDS AND THE YORP EFFECT
The Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievski–Paddack (YORP) effect is a torque of light pressure recoil forces acting on an asteroid. We show how this torque can be expressed as an integral of a universal function over the surface...
MODEL OF MAGNETIC DEGENERATE DWARF
The macroscopic characteristics of the degenerate dwarves were calculated based on the equation of state of a spin-polarized electron gas at T = 0K as well as at finite temperatures. It was shown that the spin-polarizatio...
