Discoveries by A. David Andrews

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 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette and Asteroid belt

Asteroid spectral types

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

See 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette and Astronomical unit

Binary asteroid

A binary asteroid is a system of two asteroids orbiting their common barycenter. 1727 Mette and binary asteroid are binary asteroids.

See 1727 Mette and Binary asteroid

Boyden Observatory

Boyden Observatory is an astronomical research observatory and science education centre located in Maselspoort, north-east of the city of Bloemfontein in Free State, South Africa.

See 1727 Mette and Boyden Observatory

Brian D. Warner

Brian Dale Warner (born 1952) is an American amateur astronomer and computer programmer.

See 1727 Mette and Brian D. Warner

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 1727 Mette and Degree (angle)

Ecliptic

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

See 1727 Mette and Ecliptic

Geneva Observatory

The Geneva Observatory (Observatoire de Genève, Observatorium von Genf) is an astronomical observatory at Sauverny (CH) in the municipality of Versoix, Canton of Geneva, in Switzerland.

See 1727 Mette and Geneva Observatory

Goethe Link Observatory

The Goethe Link Observatory, observatory code 760, is an astronomical observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana, United States.

See 1727 Mette and Goethe Link 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 1727 Mette and Hour

The Hungaria family (003) is a collisional asteroid family of at least 2,966 known asteroids, named for its largest member, the -across asteroid 434 Hungaria. 1727 Mette and Hungaria family are Hungaria asteroids.

See 1727 Mette and Hungaria 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 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette and Kirkwood gap

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 1727 Mette and Light curve

List of Mars-crossing minor planets

A Mars-crossing asteroid (MCA, also Mars-crosser, MC) is an asteroid whose orbit crosses that of Mars. 1727 Mette and List of Mars-crossing minor planets are Mars-crossing asteroids.

See 1727 Mette and List of Mars-crossing minor planets

Magnitude (astronomy)

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

See 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette and Minor Planet Center

Minor-planet moon

A minor-planet moon is an astronomical object that orbits a minor planet as its natural satellite. 1727 Mette and minor-planet moon are binary asteroids.

See 1727 Mette and Minor-planet moon

Near-Earth object

A near-Earth object (NEO) is any small Solar System body orbiting the Sun whose closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) is less than 1.3 times the Earth–Sun distance (astronomical unit, AU).

See 1727 Mette and Near-Earth object

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 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

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

See 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette 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 1727 Mette and Springer Science+Business Media
