Assessing the feasibility of asteroid surveillance using visualization diagram of Bowell formula
UDC
523.44Abstract
On a plane passing through the Earth, the Sun and asteroid, in the elongation-surveillance range coordinate system, a diagram is constructed that consists of the isolines of diameters of detected asteroids, which are calculated by Bowell formula. When changing the values of the limiting magnitude of telescope and the asteroid albedo, the configuration of isolines on the diagram unalters. Using the asteroid motion trajectory constructed on the diagram, the feasibility of its continuous surveillance is assessed.
