Absolute magnitude

In astronomy, absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object on an inverse logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Absolute magnitude

Albedo

Albedo is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Albedo

Asteroid

An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a true planet nor an identified comet— that orbits within the inner Solar System.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Asteroid

Asteroid belt

The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Asteroid belt

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Astronomical unit

C-type asteroid

C-type (carbonaceous) asteroids are the most common variety, forming around 75% of known asteroids.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and C-type asteroid

Degree (angle)

A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Degree (angle)

Ecliptic

The ecliptic or ecliptic plane is the orbital plane of Earth around the Sun.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Ecliptic

The European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere, commonly referred to as the European Southern Observatory (ESO), is an intergovernmental research organisation made up of 16 member states for ground-based astronomy.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and European Southern Observatory

Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory

Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory (Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl) is a historic astronomical observatory located near the summit of the Königstuhl hill in the city of Heidelberg in Germany.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory

Hour

An hour (symbol: h; also abbreviated hr) is a unit of time historically reckoned as of a day and defined contemporarily as exactly 3,600 seconds (SI).

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Hour

Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) in La Cañada Flintridge, California, Crescenta Valley, United States.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Julian day

The Julian day is the continuous count of days since the beginning of the Julian period, and is used primarily by astronomers, and in software for easily calculating elapsed days between two events (e.g. food production date and sell by date).

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Julian day

Julian year (astronomy)

In astronomy, a Julian year (symbol: a or aj) is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of SI seconds each.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Julian year (astronomy)

Kirkwood gap

A Kirkwood gap is a gap or dip in the distribution of the semi-major axes (or equivalently of the orbital periods) of the orbits of main-belt asteroids.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Kirkwood gap

La Silla Observatory

La Silla Observatory is an astronomical observatory in Chile with three telescopes built and operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO).

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and La Silla Observatory

Light curve

In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of the light intensity of a celestial object or region as a function of time, typically with the magnitude of light received on the y-axis and with time on the x-axis.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Light curve

Magnitude (astronomy)

In astronomy, magnitude is measure of the brightness of an object, usually in a defined passband.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Magnitude (astronomy)

Observation arc

In observational astronomy, the observation arc (or arc length) of a Solar System body is the time period between its earliest and latest observations, used for tracing the body's path.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Observation arc

Orbital eccentricity

In astrodynamics, the orbital eccentricity of an astronomical object is a dimensionless parameter that determines the amount by which its orbit around another body deviates from a perfect circle.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

Orbital inclination measures the tilt of an object's orbit around a celestial body.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Orbital inclination

Palomar Transient Factory

The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF, obs. code: I41), was an astronomical survey using a wide-field survey camera designed to search for optical transient and variable sources such as variable stars, supernovae, asteroids and comets.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Palomar Transient Factory

Rotation period (astronomy)

In astronomy, the rotation period or spin period of a celestial object (e.g., star, planet, moon, asteroid) has two definitions.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Rotation period (astronomy)

Themis family

The Themis family (adj. Themistian) is a family of carbonaceous asteroids located in the outer portion of the asteroid belt, at a mean distance of 3.13 AU from the Sun. (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Themis family are Themis asteroids.

See (7348) 1993 FJ22 and Themis family

UESAC

The Uppsala–ESO Survey of Asteroids and Comets (UESAC) took place in 1992–1993. (7348) 1993 FJ22 and UESAC are Discoveries by UESAC.
