What is the total number of asteroid models so far? | |

It seems a bit strange, to me anyway, that they are all "fig" shaped. Surely some of them are some other shape? | |

Well, this method can derive only convex models so there are no detailed models with rocks and craters, if you meant this. | |

Well, this method can derive only convex models so there are no detailed models with rocks and craters, if you meant this. I understand you wouldn't be able to get down to that level of detail. I would have thought some would be spherical, oval or maybe cylindrical shapes. Something other than fig-shaped. ____________ BOINC blog | |

He wanted different shapes but when He and the angel Gabriel were making the asteroids God stubbed his little toe just when Gabriel asked what shape they should be. While He was dancing around in pain, holding his little toe, He yelled "Oh, frig!!" Gabriel, ears still ringing from the Big Bang, replied, "OK, figs it is." and the rest is history. | |

There is a strong bias in the shapes we derive. The closer the shape is to a sphere, the lower is the variation of the reflected light caused by its rotation. In such cases, the signal is drowned in the noise and we can't derive the rotation period. Given the poor quality of the data we have now, the shape has to be elongated enough to produce a high-amplitude lightcurve - only then we can find the period and the corresponding shape. | |

When BOINC tells me there's new messages I almost never ever click to view them. When I clicked on the messages I almost never ever click on the announcements to read more. When I follow through I rarely ever take a close look at the results. | |

I was wondering approximately how often the scientific results page is updated with newly computed models of asteroids. Is there a periodicity of the update process, or it happens randomly? When was the last update, when will the next one occur, stuff like that :) On the A@H Twitter account the last update was announced in March 2013, which is quite a while back in time, but I'm guessing that there have been more recent updates too. | |

New models aren't published periodicaly. We just have to process many results and there if there is enough new models then we will publish them. With the optimization there are much more data for processing now and there is also a change is storing older data which are needed to publish who find right model so there are still no new models published but don't worry, they will be. It is just not scheduled. | |

Thank you for the info, Kyong! | |
