CSFK CSI SZEMINÁRIUM / KONKOLY OBSERVATORY SEMINAR

Date: Feb 09, 2023 (Thursday) 14:00


Csaba Kiss (Konkoly Observatory, Budapest, Hungary):
...and yet it rotates!


Rotation is one of the fundamental characteristics of asteroids that holds 
information on the formation, collisional and tidal evolution; can be used 
for shape reconstruction; and is the major source of non-gravitational 
phenomena affecting the structure and dynamics of minor planets. In this talk 
I am presenting a study that we conducted on the rotational properties of 
Kuiper belt objects using data from the K2 mission of the Kepler Space 
Telescope. Our results show that the general characteristics of the rotation 
of trans-Neptunian objects are remarkably different from the picture we drew 
from ground based data, and these new findings pose a lot of intriguing 
questions about the formation and evolution of objects in the outer Solar 
system.

The seminar will be held live in the Detre hall with audience, but also 
streamed online via Zoom. If you are unable to attend the presentation in 
person, you can join us via this link
