A Web-based tool to calculate observability of Koronis program asteroids
Abstract
Results derived from rotation lightcurve studies of asteroids in the Koronis family have recently attracted much interest in the asteroid research community. I've developed a software application to identify which Koronis program objects that are in need of rotation lightcurve data are observable on a given date from a given location. This tool is now accessible on the Web at http://www.koronisfamily.com. Observers who wish to participate in the ongoing observing program may use this tool for targeting these objects' lightcurves.
