Absolute magnitude

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

See 1608 Muñoz and Absolute magnitude

Akari (satellite)

AKARI (ASTRO-F) was an infrared astronomy satellite developed by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, in cooperation with institutes of Europe and Korea.

See 1608 Muñoz and Akari (satellite)

Albedo

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

See 1608 Muñoz and Albedo

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 1608 Muñoz and Asteroid belt

Asteroid family

An asteroid family is a population of asteroids that share similar proper orbital elements, such as semimajor axis, eccentricity, and orbital inclination.

See 1608 Muñoz and Asteroid family

Astronomical unit

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

See 1608 Muñoz and Astronomical unit

Belgrade Observatory

The Belgrade Observatory is an astronomical observatory located in the Zvezdara Forest in the eastern part of Belgrade, Serbia.

See 1608 Muñoz and Belgrade Observatory

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 1608 Muñoz and Degree (angle)

Ecliptic

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

See 1608 Muñoz and Ecliptic

The Flora family (adj. Florian;; also known as the Ariadne family) is a prominent family of stony asteroids located in the inner region of the asteroid belt. 1608 Muñoz and Flora family are Flora asteroids.

See 1608 Muñoz and Flora family

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 1608 Muñoz 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 1608 Muñoz 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 1608 Muñoz 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 1608 Muñoz and Kirkwood gap

La Plata Astronomical Observatory

The La Plata Astronomical Observatory (Observatorio Astronómico de La Plata) is an observatory located in the city of La Plata, capital of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

See 1608 Muñoz and La Plata Astronomical 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 1608 Muñoz and Light curve

Lowell Observatory

Lowell Observatory is an astronomical observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, United States.

See 1608 Muñoz and Lowell Observatory

Magnitude (astronomy)

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

See 1608 Muñoz and Magnitude (astronomy)

Miguel Itzigsohn

Miguel Itzigsohn (1908–1978) was an Argentine astronomer and observer of comets, credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of 15 asteroids between 1948 and 1954. 1608 Muñoz and Miguel Itzigsohn are Discoveries by Miguel Itzigsohn.

See 1608 Muñoz and Miguel Itzigsohn

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 1608 Muñoz and Minor planet

Minor Planet Center

The Minor Planet Center (MPC) is the official body for observing and reporting on minor planets under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

See 1608 Muñoz and Minor Planet Center

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 1608 Muñoz and Observation arc

Ondřejov Observatory

The Ondřejov Observatory (Observatoř Ondřejov) is the principal observatory of the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

See 1608 Muñoz and Ondřejov Observatory

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 1608 Muñoz and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

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

See 1608 Muñoz and Orbital inclination

Petr Pravec

Petr Pravec (born September 17, 1967) is a Czech astronomer and a discoverer of minor planets, born in Třinec, Czech Republic.

See 1608 Muñoz and Petr Pravec

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.

See 1608 Muñoz and Photometry (astronomy)

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.

See 1608 Muñoz and Precovery

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 1608 Muñoz and Rotation period (astronomy)

S-type asteroid

S-type asteroids are asteroids with a spectral type that is indicative of a siliceous (i.e. stony) mineralogical composition, hence the name.

See 1608 Muñoz and S-type asteroid

Semi-major and semi-minor axes

In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter.

See 1608 Muñoz and Semi-major and semi-minor axes
