Astronomical objects discovered in 1935
Discoveries by Eugène Joseph Delporte

Absolute magnitude

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

See 1711 Sandrine and Absolute magnitude

Albedo

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

See 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine and Asteroid family

Asteroid spectral types

An asteroid spectral type is assigned to asteroids based on their reflectance spectrum, color, and sometimes albedo.

See 1711 Sandrine and Asteroid spectral types

Astronomical unit

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

See 1711 Sandrine and Astronomical unit

Comet Arend–Roland

Comet Arend–Roland was discovered on November 8, 1956, by Belgian astronomers Sylvain Arend and Georges Roland on photographic plates.

See 1711 Sandrine and Comet Arend–Roland

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 1711 Sandrine and Degree (angle)

Ecliptic

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

See 1711 Sandrine and Ecliptic

Eos family

The Eos family (adj. Eoan) is a very large asteroid family located in the outer region of the asteroid belt. 1711 Sandrine and Eos family are Eos asteroids.

See 1711 Sandrine and Eos family

Eugène Joseph Delporte

Eugène Joseph Delporte (10 January 1882 – 19 October 1955) was a Belgian astronomer born in Genappe. 1711 Sandrine and Eugène Joseph Delporte are Discoveries by Eugène Joseph Delporte.

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 1711 Sandrine and Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory

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 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine and Kirkwood gap

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 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine 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 1711 Sandrine and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

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

See 1711 Sandrine and Orbital inclination

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 1711 Sandrine and Rotation period (astronomy)

Royal Observatory of Belgium

The Royal Observatory of Belgium (Observatoire Royal de Belgique; Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België) has been situated in the Uccle municipality of Brussels since 1890.

See 1711 Sandrine and Royal Observatory of Belgium

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 1711 Sandrine and S-type asteroid

Springer Science+Business Media, commonly known as Springer, is a German multinational publishing company of books, e-books and peer-reviewed journals in science, humanities, technical and medical (STM) publishing.

See 1711 Sandrine and Springer Science+Business Media

Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer

Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE, observatory code C51, Explorer 92 and MIDEX-6) is a NASA infrared astronomy space telescope in the Explorers Program launched in December 2009.
