Indiana Asteroid Programとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Indiana Asteroid Program was a program of photographic asteroid observations made with a 10-inch f/6.5 Cooke triplet astrographic camera at Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana. The program was initiated by Frank K. Edmondson of Indiana University in 1949 and continued until 1967. It had four objectives:

• recovering asteroids that were far from their predicted positions;
• making new orbital calculations or revising old ones;
• deriving magnitudes accurate to about 0.1 mag; and
• training students.
