We have observed the leading and trailing hemispheres of Phobos from 1.65 to 3.5 ยตm and Deimos from 1.65 to 3.12 ยตm near opposition. We find the trailing hemisphere of Phobos to be brighter than its leading hemisphere by 0.24 ยฑ 0.06 magnitude at 1.65 ยตm and brighter than Deimos by 0.98 ยฑ 0.07 magnit
Despite many efforts an adequate theory describing the origin of Phobos and Deimos has not been realized. In recent years a number of separate observations suggest the possibility that the martian satellites may have been the result of giant impact. Similar to the Earth-Moon system, Mars has too muc
The results of V-band polarimetric observations of the potentially hazardous near-Earth Asteroid (23187) 2000 PN 9 at large phase angles are presented as well as its photometric observations in BVRI bands. Observations were made in March-April 2006 during its close approach to the Earth using the 1.
