Astronomical objects discovered in 1933
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 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux and Akari (satellite)

Albedo

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

See 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux and Asteroid belt

Asteroid spectral types

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

See 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux and Degree (angle)

Ecliptic

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

See 1848 Delvaux and Ecliptic

Eugène Joseph Delporte

Eugène Joseph Delporte (10 January 1882 – 19 October 1955) was a Belgian astronomer born in Genappe. 1848 Delvaux and Eugène Joseph Delporte are Discoveries by Eugène Joseph Delporte.

See 1848 Delvaux and Eugène Joseph Delporte

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 1848 Delvaux and Geneva 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 1848 Delvaux and Hour

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 1848 Delvaux and Jet Propulsion Laboratory

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 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux and Kirkwood gap

Koronis family

The Koronis or Koronian family, also known as the Lacrimosa family, is a very large asteroid family of stony asteroids, located in the outer region of the asteroid belt. 1848 Delvaux and Koronis family are Koronis asteroids.

See 1848 Delvaux and Koronis family

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 1848 Delvaux and Light curve

Magnitude (astronomy)

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

See 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux and Minor Planet Center

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 1848 Delvaux and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

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

See 1848 Delvaux and Orbital inclination

Provisional designation in astronomy

Provisional designation in astronomy is the naming convention applied to astronomical objects immediately following their discovery.

See 1848 Delvaux and Provisional designation in astronomy

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 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux 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 1848 Delvaux and S-type asteroid

Simeiz Observatory

Simeiz Observatory (also spelled Simeis or Simeïs) was an astronomy research observatory until the mid-1950s.

See 1848 Delvaux and Simeiz Observatory

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.
