NAZOV / TITLE :

Recent results on model of Midas, photometry of three PHAs, the
interstellar comet, and few binaries

ABSTRAKT / ABSTRACT :

I will talk about some selected interesting results obtained during past
year with both telescopes at the Skalnate Pleso Observatory.
1. Model of the asteroid Midas from Arecibo radar and photometric
observations.

 2. In last year I observed three NEAs during close approaches to the
Earth. It was a perfect challenge to make good multicolor & polarimetric
observations and to estimate some physical characteristics (period,
taxon.class, size). 3. Comet Borisov was the second object with the
interstellar origin. Only ~4 months it could be observed from northern
hemisphere and we performed few BVR photometric measurements using
0.61-m and 1.3-m telescopes at the Skalnate Pleso Observatory. Estimates
of color, size, mass loss, etc.
 will be shown.

4. Short talk about few asteroids observed in a long-term campaign for
searching for binary asteroids.
