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.

Ecliptic

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

See 1172 Äneas and Ecliptic

Greek mythology

Greek mythology is the body of myths originally told by the ancient Greeks, and a genre of ancient Greek folklore, today absorbed alongside Roman mythology into the broader designation of classical mythology.

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 1172 Äneas 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 1172 Äneas and Julian year (astronomy)

Jupiter trojan

The Jupiter trojans, commonly called trojan asteroids or simply trojans, are a large group of asteroids that share the planet Jupiter's orbit around the Sun.

Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth

Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth (4 April 1892 in Heidelberg – 6 May 1979 in Heidelberg) was a German astronomer and a prolific discoverer of 395 minor planets. 1172 Äneas and Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth are Discoveries by Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth.

La Silla Observatory

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

Lagrange point

In celestial mechanics, the Lagrange points (also Lagrangian points or libration points) are points of equilibrium for small-mass objects under the gravitational influence of two massive orbiting bodies.

See 1172 Äneas and Lagrange point

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 1172 Äneas and Light curve

List of Jupiter trojans (Trojan camp)

This is a list of Jupiter trojans that lie in the Trojan camp, an elongated curved region around the trailing Lagrangian point, 60° behind Jupiter in its orbit. 1172 Äneas and list of Jupiter trojans (Trojan camp) are Jupiter trojans (Trojan camp).

See 1172 Äneas and List of minor planet discoverers

List of observatory codes

This is a list of observatory codes (IAU codes or MPC codes) published by the Minor Planet Center.

Magnitude (astronomy)

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

See 1172 Äneas and Magnitude (astronomy)

Minor planet

According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a minor planet is an astronomical object in direct orbit around the Sun that is exclusively classified as neither a planet nor a comet.

See 1172 Äneas and Minor planet

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 1172 Äneas 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 1172 Äneas and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

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

See 1172 Äneas and Orbital inclination

Orbital resonance

In celestial mechanics, orbital resonance occurs when orbiting bodies exert regular, periodic gravitational influence on each other, usually because their orbital periods are related by a ratio of small integers.

See 1172 Äneas and Orbital resonance

P-type asteroid

P-type asteroids are asteroids that have low albedo and a featureless reddish spectrum.

See 1172 Äneas and P-type asteroid

Photometry (astronomy)

In astronomy, photometry, from Greek photo- ("light") and -metry ("measure"), is a technique used in astronomy that is concerned with measuring the flux or intensity of light radiated by astronomical objects.
