Lowell Observatory
offers these tools to assist with asteroid observation planning and to
facilitate data mining across multiple surveys. We regularly ingest available physical property data for asteroids
(See:
Data Sources
). Combined with orbital and ephemeris solutions, this site provides a powerful
and simple way to both plan asteroid observing and investigate novel orbit-physical property characteristics. If you have a dataset that you believe would be valuable to include
in this database, please contact use at
asteroid@lowell.edu
. Orbital solutions are calculated in-house based on
Minor Planet Center observations.
Though relatively mature, this site is in continual development as we add new features and tools.
If a bug is particularly important or if you have an idea for a new feature, please direct concerns
to
asteroid@lowell.edu
