Absolute magnitude
In astronomy, absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object on an inverse logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale.
See 1622 Chacornac and Absolute magnitude
Akari (satellite)
AKARI (ASTRO-F) was an infrared astronomy satellite developed by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, in cooperation with institutes of Europe and Korea.

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.
See 1622 Chacornac and Asteroid
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 1622 Chacornac and Asteroid belt
Astronomical unit
The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.
See 1622 Chacornac and Astronomical unit
Chacornac (crater)
Chacornac is an irregular lunar impact crater attached to the southeast rim of the crater Posidonius.
See 1622 Chacornac and Chacornac (crater)
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 1622 Chacornac and Degree (angle)
Ecliptic
The ecliptic or ecliptic plane is the orbital plane of Earth around the Sun.
See 1622 Chacornac and Ecliptic

Geneva Observatory
The Geneva Observatory (Observatoire de Genève, Observatorium von Genf) is an astronomical observatory at Sauverny (CH) in the municipality of Versoix, Canton of Geneva, in Switzerland.
See 1622 Chacornac and Geneva Observatory
Hour
An hour (symbol: h; also abbreviated hr) is a unit of time historically reckoned as of a day and defined contemporarily as exactly 3,600 seconds (SI).
Jean Chacornac
Jean Chacornac (21 June 1823 – 23 September 1873) was a French astronomer and discoverer of a comet and several asteroids.
See 1622 Chacornac and Jean Chacornac
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) in La Cañada Flintridge, California, Crescenta Valley, United States.
See 1622 Chacornac and Jet Propulsion Laboratory
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 1622 Chacornac 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 1622 Chacornac and Julian year (astronomy)
Kirkwood gap
A Kirkwood gap is a gap or dip in the distribution of the semi-major axes (or equivalently of the orbital periods) of the orbits of main-belt asteroids.
See 1622 Chacornac and Kirkwood gap
Light curve
In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of the light intensity of a celestial object or region as a function of time, typically with the magnitude of light received on the y-axis and with time on the x-axis.
See 1622 Chacornac and Light curve
List of hyperbolic comets
This is a list of parabolic and hyperbolic comets in the Solar System.
See 1622 Chacornac and List of hyperbolic comets
List of minor planet discoverers
This is a list of minor-planet discoverers credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of one or several minor planets (such as near-Earth and main-belt asteroids, Jupiter trojans and distant objects).
See 1622 Chacornac and List of minor planet discoverers
Lowell Observatory
Lowell Observatory is an astronomical observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, United States.
See 1622 Chacornac and Lowell Observatory
Magnitude (astronomy)
In astronomy, magnitude is measure of the brightness of an object, usually in a defined passband.
See 1622 Chacornac and Magnitude (astronomy)
Minor planet
According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a minor planet is an astronomical object in direct orbit around the Sun that is exclusively classified as neither a planet nor a comet.
See 1622 Chacornac and Minor planet
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 1622 Chacornac and Minor Planet Center
Observation arc
In observational astronomy, the observation arc (or arc length) of a Solar System body is the time period between its earliest and latest observations, used for tracing the body's path.
See 1622 Chacornac and Observation arc
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 1622 Chacornac and Orbital eccentricity
Orbital inclination
Orbital inclination measures the tilt of an object's orbit around a celestial body.
See 1622 Chacornac and Orbital inclination
Palomar Transient Factory
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF, obs. code: I41), was an astronomical survey using a wide-field survey camera designed to search for optical transient and variable sources such as variable stars, supernovae, asteroids and comets.
See 1622 Chacornac and Palomar Transient Factory
Precovery
In astronomy, precovery (short for pre-discovery recovery) is the process of finding the image of an object in images or photographic plates predating its discovery, typically for the purpose of calculating a more accurate orbit.
See 1622 Chacornac and Precovery
Provisional designation in astronomy
Provisional designation in astronomy is the naming convention applied to astronomical objects immediately following their discovery.
See 1622 Chacornac and Provisional designation in astronomy
Rotation period (astronomy)
In astronomy, the rotation period or spin period of a celestial object (e.g., star, planet, moon, asteroid) has two definitions.
See 1622 Chacornac and Rotation period (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 1622 Chacornac and S-type asteroid
