NAZOV / TITLE :

Photometric and Polarimetric Observations of Near-Earth Asteroids

ABSTRAKT / ABSTRACT :

The study of the physical properties of near-Earth
asteroids (NEAs) is the base of our understanding
of the hazard and usefulness of these bodies for humanity.
Regular observations of the NEAs have been carried out
at the Institute of Astronomy of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv
National University since 1995. It was aimed at determining
the size and shape, studying the rotation and surface
characteristics of asteroids. The observations were carried
out within the framework of wide international cooperation.
The main part of photometric observations of the asteroids
was carried out with a 0.7-m telescope of the Chuguyiv Observation
Station (MPC code 121), which was destroyed by the russian invasion.
The results of the study will be presented.
