IDENTIFICATION OF GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITES BY THEIR PHOTOMETRIC AND DYNAMIC FEATURES, SOME PROBLEMS
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2015, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
It is possible to identify certain characteristics of geostationary satellites by studying their photometry. This paper reviews some of the technical problems and methodologies concerning photometry of satellites, as well as their identification by photometric characteristics. The existing methods of identifying geostationary satellites using photometry are also summarized. The present Database of photometric and dynamic characteristics of the GSS, additional information, simplifying the input of the inverse problem all this allows modern methods to identify unknown GSS with a probability up to 80%.

THE ASYMMETRIC DRIFT AND THE ROTATION CURVE OF THE GALAXY
Asymmetric drift in the solar neighbourhood is studied by the means of the RAVE data. The asymmetric drift correction is applied to the SDSS data to measure the rotation curve of the Milky Way in the extended solar neigh...
STATUS REFINEMENT OF METAL-POOR STAR HD 6268
Metal-poor stars in the Galaxy enable observations of the light and neutron-capture (n-capture) elements produced by their progenitors and deduction of the characteristics of the early Galaxy from the elemental abundance...
THE RESEARCH OF VARIATION OF THE PERIOD AND PRECESSION OF THE ROTATION AXIS OF EGS (AJISAI) SATELLITE BY USING PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENT
The light curves of EGS Ajisai with temporal resolution of 20 ms referred to the time scale UTC (GPS) with an error of at most 0.1 ms were obtained. The observed flashes are produced when the mirrors which cover the spin...
