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 3318 Blixen 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 3318 Blixen 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 3318 Blixen and Asteroid family

Astronomical unit

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

See 3318 Blixen and Astronomical unit

Brian D. Warner

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

Brorfelde Observatory

Brorfelde Observatory (Brorfelde Observatoriet; obs. code: 054) is an astronomical observatory located in Brorfelde near Holbæk, Denmark.

See 3318 Blixen and Brorfelde 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 3318 Blixen and Degree (angle)

Ecliptic

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

See 3318 Blixen and Ecliptic

Eos family

The Eos family (adj. Eoan) is a very large asteroid family located in the outer region of the asteroid belt. 3318 Blixen and Eos family are Eos asteroids.

See 3318 Blixen and Eos 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 3318 Blixen 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 3318 Blixen 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 3318 Blixen and Julian year (astronomy)

Karen Blixen

Baroness Karen Christenze von Blixen-Finecke (born Dinesen; 17 April 1885 – 7 September 1962) was a Danish author who wrote in Danish and English.

Karl Augustesen

Karl A. Augustesen (born 1945) is a Danish astronomer and co-discoverer of minor planets. 3318 Blixen and Karl Augustesen are Discoveries by Karl Augustesen.

See 3318 Blixen and Karl Augustesen

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 3318 Blixen and Kirkwood gap

Magnitude (astronomy)

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

See 3318 Blixen 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 3318 Blixen 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 3318 Blixen 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 3318 Blixen and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

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

See 3318 Blixen and Orbital inclination

Out of Africa

Out of Africa is a memoir by the Danish author Karen Blixen.

See 3318 Blixen and Out of Africa

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 3318 Blixen and Photometry (astronomy)

Poul Jensen (astronomer)

Poul B. Jensen is a Danish astronomer and a discoverer of 98 minor planets while working at Brorfelde Observatory.

See 3318 Blixen and Poul Jensen (astronomer)

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 3318 Blixen 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 3318 Blixen and S-type asteroid
