Albedo

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

See 1334 Lundmarka and Albedo

Amateur astronomy

Amateur astronomy is a hobby where participants enjoy observing or imaging celestial objects in the sky using the unaided eye, binoculars, or telescopes.

See 1334 Lundmarka and Amateur astronomy

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 1334 Lundmarka 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 1334 Lundmarka and Asteroid belt

Astronomical unit

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

See 1334 Lundmarka and Astronomical unit

C-type asteroid

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

See 1334 Lundmarka and C-type asteroid

Cosmic distance ladder

The cosmic distance ladder (also known as the extragalactic distance scale) is the succession of methods by which astronomers determine the distances to celestial objects.

See 1334 Lundmarka and Cosmic distance ladder

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 1334 Lundmarka and Degree (angle)

Ecliptic

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

See 1334 Lundmarka and Ecliptic

Globular cluster

A globular cluster is a spheroidal conglomeration of stars that is bound together by gravity, with a higher concentration of stars towards its center.

See 1334 Lundmarka and Globular cluster

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 1334 Lundmarka 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 1334 Lundmarka and Hour

IRAS

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (Dutch: Infrarood Astronomische Satelliet) (IRAS) was the first space telescope to perform a survey of the entire night sky at infrared wavelengths.

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.

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 1334 Lundmarka 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.

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. 1334 Lundmarka and Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth are Discoveries by Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth.

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 1334 Lundmarka and Kirkwood gap

Knut Lundmark

Knut Emil Lundmark (14 June 1889 in Älvsbyn, Sweden – 23 April 1958 in Lund, Sweden), was a Swedish astronomer, professor of astronomy and head of the observatory at Lund University from 1929 to 1955.

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 1334 Lundmarka and Light curve

Lund Observatory

Lund Observatory was the official English name for the astronomy department at Lund University, and is currently used as a network of researchr within astronomy or other space related research projects, administered by the Department of Physics.

Lundmark (crater)

Lundmark is an eroded crater on the far side of the Moon.

See 1334 Lundmarka and Lundmark (crater)

Magnitude (astronomy)

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

See 1334 Lundmarka 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 1334 Lundmarka 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 1334 Lundmarka 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 1334 Lundmarka and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

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

See 1334 Lundmarka and Orbital inclination

Pan-STARRS

The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS1; obs. code: F51 and Pan-STARRS2 obs. code: F52) located at Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii, US, consists of astronomical cameras, telescopes and a computing facility that is surveying the sky for moving or variable objects on a continual basis, and also producing accurate astrometry and photometry of already-detected objects.

Precovery

In astronomy, precovery (short for pre-discovery recovery) is the process of finding the image of an object in images or photographic plates predating its discovery, typically for the purpose of calculating a more accurate orbit.

Rotation period (astronomy)

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