All Sky Automated Survey

The All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) is a Polish project implemented on 7 April 1997 to do photometric monitoring of approximately 20 million stars brighter than 14 magnitude all over the sky. Comet Pojmański and all Sky Automated Survey are Science and technology in Poland.

Apsis

An apsis is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body.

See Comet Pojmański and Apsis

Aquila (constellation)

Aquila is a constellation on the celestial equator.

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

Barycenter (astronomy)

In astronomy, the barycenter (or barycentre) is the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit.

See Comet Pojmański and Barycenter (astronomy)

Binoculars

Binoculars or field glasses are two refracting telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects.

Bohdan Paczyński

Bohdan Paczyński or Bohdan Paczynski (8 February 1940 – 19 April 2007) was a Polish astronomer notable for his theories and work in the fields of stellar evolution, accretion discs, and gamma ray bursts.

Coma (comet)

The coma is the nebulous envelope around the nucleus of a comet, formed when the comet passes near the Sun in its highly elliptical orbit.

Magnitude (astronomy)

In astronomy, magnitude is measure of the brightness of an object, usually in a defined passband.
