Description: Research in determining asteroid shapes through photometric data and multiple data sources. Reference documents, introduction, links.
Asteroids and comets form the largest and, perhaps paradoxically, the least well known population of celestial bodies in our solar system. The shortage of detailed information is mainly due to the fact that, because of the large interplanetary distances, disk-resolved images can be obtained only of a limited number of these targets. Nevertheless, our view of this population has started to change dramatically. Spacecraft images and radar observations, though few and far between, have already revealed to us that asteroids come in just about all possible shapes, configurations, and structures.
