In this tutorial you will learn about asteroids, a very interesting
and current topic in our exploration of the Solar System and of
planetary formation. You will learn about their orbital
characteristics by querying a database.
Intermediate computer skills are recommended, as the tutorial requires
the (guided) query of online electronic databases and use of
histograms.
SBNAF public database of thermal infrared observations of small
bodies in the solar system. Our database collects thermal emission
measurements of small Solar Systems targets that are otherwise
available in scattered sources and gives a complete description of the
data, with all information necessary to perform direct scientific
calculations and without the need to access additional, external
resources. See the details here: https://ird.konkoly.hu/
