Apparent magnitude
Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.
See 12 Victoria and Apparent magnitude
Asteroid
An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a true planet nor an identified comet— that orbits within the inner Solar System.
Asteroid belt
The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.
See 12 Victoria and Asteroid belt
Astronomical unit
The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.
See 12 Victoria and Astronomical unit
Benjamin Apthorp Gould
Benjamin Apthorp Gould (September 27, 1824 – November 26, 1896) was a pioneering American astronomer.
See 12 Victoria and Benjamin Apthorp Gould
Binary asteroid
A binary asteroid is a system of two asteroids orbiting their common barycenter.
See 12 Victoria and Binary asteroid
Degree (angle)
A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees.
See 12 Victoria and Degree (angle)
Elongation (astronomy)
In astronomy, a planet's elongation is the angular separation between the Sun and the planet, with Earth as the reference point.
See 12 Victoria and Elongation (astronomy)
Geometric albedo
In astronomy, the geometric albedo of a celestial body is the ratio of its actual brightness as seen from the light source (i.e. at zero phase angle) to that of an idealized flat, fully reflecting, diffusively scattering (Lambertian) disk with the same cross-section.
See 12 Victoria and Geometric albedo
Harvard College Observatory
The Harvard College Observatory (HCO) is an institution managing a complex of buildings and multiple instruments used for astronomical research by the Harvard University Department of Astronomy.
See 12 Victoria and Harvard College Observatory
John Russell Hind
John Russell Hind FRS FRSE LLD (12 May 1823 – 23 December 1895) was an English astronomer.
See 12 Victoria and John Russell Hind
JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System
JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System provides access to key Solar System data and flexible production of highly accurate ephemerides for Solar System objects.
See 12 Victoria and JPL Horizons On-Line Ephemeris System
Julian day
The Julian day is the continuous count of days since the beginning of the Julian period, and is used primarily by astronomers, and in software for easily calculating elapsed days between two events (e.g. food production date and sell by date).
See 12 Victoria and Julian day
Julian year (astronomy)
In astronomy, a Julian year (symbol: a or aj) is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of SI seconds each.
See 12 Victoria and Julian year (astronomy)
Kelvin
The kelvin, symbol K, is the base unit of measurement for temperature in the International System of Units (SI).
Minor Planet Center
The Minor Planet Center (MPC) is the official body for observing and reporting on minor planets under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
See 12 Victoria and Minor Planet Center
Minor-planet designation
A formal minor-planet designation is, in its final form, a number–name combination given to a minor planet (asteroid, centaur, trans-Neptunian object and dwarf planet but not comet).
See 12 Victoria and Minor-planet designation
Nike (mythology)
In Greek mythology and ancient religion, Nike (lit;, modern) is the goddess who personifies victory in any field including art, music, war, and athletics.
See 12 Victoria and Nike (mythology)
Occultation
An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden from the observer by another object that passes between them.
See 12 Victoria and Occultation
Orbital eccentricity
In astrodynamics, the orbital eccentricity of an astronomical object is a dimensionless parameter that determines the amount by which its orbit around another body deviates from a perfect circle.
See 12 Victoria and Orbital eccentricity
Orbital period
The orbital period (also revolution period) is the amount of time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object.
See 12 Victoria and Orbital period
Pallas (Titan)
In Greek mythology, Pallas (Πάλλας) was, according to Hesiod, the son of the Titans Crius and Eurybia, the brother of Astraeus and Perses, the husband of Styx, and the father of Zelus ("Zeal" or "Emulation"), Nike ("Victory"), Kratos ("Strength" or "Power"), and Bia ("Might" or "Force").
See 12 Victoria and Pallas (Titan)
Queen Victoria
Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death in 1901.
See 12 Victoria and Queen Victoria
Radar astronomy
Radar astronomy is a technique of observing nearby astronomical objects by reflecting radio waves or microwaves off target objects and analyzing their reflections.
See 12 Victoria and Radar astronomy
S-type asteroid
S-type asteroids are asteroids with a spectral type that is indicative of a siliceous (i.e. stony) mineralogical composition, hence the name.
See 12 Victoria and S-type asteroid
Speckle imaging
Speckle imaging comprises a range of high-resolution astronomical imaging techniques based on the analysis of large numbers of short exposures that freeze the variation of atmospheric turbulence.
See 12 Victoria and Speckle imaging
Springer Science+Business Media
Springer Science+Business Media, commonly known as Springer, is a German multinational publishing company of books, e-books and peer-reviewed journals in science, humanities, technical and medical (STM) publishing.
See 12 Victoria and Springer Science+Business Media
Star
A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity.
Styx
In Greek mythology, Styx (Στύξ; lit. "Shuddering"), also called the River Styx, is a goddess and river of the Underworld.
The Astronomical Journal
The Astronomical Journal (often abbreviated AJ in scientific papers and references) is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal owned by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) and currently published by IOP Publishing.
See 12 Victoria and The Astronomical Journal
Titans
In Greek mythology, the Titans (οἱ Τῑτᾶνες, hoi Tītânes, ὁ Τῑτᾱ́ν, -ήν, ho Tītân) were the pre-Olympian gods.
Unicode
Unicode, formally The Unicode Standard, is a text encoding standard maintained by the Unicode Consortium designed to support the use of text in all of the world's writing systems that can be digitized.
United States
The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
See 12 Victoria and United States
Victoria (mythology)
In ancient Roman religion Victoria was the deified personification of victory. 12 Victoria and Victoria (mythology) are Nike (mythology).
See 12 Victoria and Victoria (mythology)
William Cranch Bond
William Cranch Bond (September 9, 1789 – January 29, 1859) was an American astronomer, and the first director of Harvard College Observatory.
See 12 Victoria and William Cranch Bond
68–95–99.7 rule
In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, and sometimes abbreviated 3sr, is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within an interval estimate in a normal distribution: approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.
See 12 Victoria and 68–95–99.7 rule
84 Klio
Klio (minor planet designation: 84 Klio) is a fairly large and very dark main-belt asteroid. 12 Victoria and 84 Klio are Klio asteroids, minor planet object articles (numbered) and named minor planets.
