EURONEAR - The European Near Earth Asteroids Network
Abstract
The EURONEAR project aims to study near earth objects following a couple of goals: 1. Constraining the orbits of poorly known asteroids with highly uncertain parameters using astrometry to measure positions; 2. Determining the physical properties and chemical composition of near earth objects using photometry and spectroscopy. The project's methods will be presented and the most interesting results will be highlighted. For instance, we developed our own MOPS software and discovered 12 near earth asteroids. Our work has been published in ~30 publications. Some of our objects have received names of Romanian astronomers. Last but not least, the project will also be presented as a good way to perform education and outreach.
