Astrometric asteroid masses: a simultaneous determination
Abstract
Using over 89 million astrometric observations of 349 737 numbered minor planets, an attempt was made to determine the masses of 230 of them by simultaneously solving for corrections to all orbital elements and the masses. For 132 minor planets an acceptable result was obtained, 49 of which appear to be new.
