Greetings A@H Team! I have a few questions. 1. What lightcurves do you use? Do you use ALCDEF from MPC site? 2. Do you really work with photometric data from big surveys? 3. How and where I can post my LC for your project? It will be useful or not? TIA, Leonid Elenin ISON-NM Observatory (H15) |

1. What lightcurves do you use? Do you use ALCDEF from MPC site? Now we use sparse-in-time photometry from astrometric surveys. For lightcurve inversion, we also use lightcurves from ALCDEF/MPC but they are processed at the computational cluster Tiger of the Astronomical Institute, Charles University in Prague, because their analysis is not so time-consuming. 2. Do you really work with photometric data from big surveys? Yes, we do. 3. How and where I can post my LC for your project? It will be useful or not? Post your lightcurves at ALCDEF/MPC. Sooner or later we will download them, combine them with other available data, and try to derive a model. If we succeed, the model will be posted on DAMIT http://astro.troja.mff.cuni.cz/projects/asteroids3D. |

2. Do you really work with photometric data from big surveys? We don't use all data from MPC, just a subset - outliers were removed and the data re-calibrated by Edward Bowell from Lowell Observatory. |
