Orbit determination with very short arcs. I admissible regions

Abstract: Most asteroid discoveries consist of a few astrometric observations over a short time span, and in many cases the amount of information is too limited to compute a full orbit according to the least squares principle. We investigate whether such a Very Short Arc may nonetheless contain significant orbit information, with predictive value, e.g., allowing to compute useful ephemerides with a well defined uncertainty for some time in the future.For short enough arcs, all the significant information is contained in… Show more

“…This is done by applying the so-called Admissible Region (Milani et al, 2004(Milani et al, , 2011Tommei et al, 2007;Schumacher et al, 2013). This method allows for the restriction of the search space by placing constraints on e.g.…”

“…The admissible region cannot have more than two connected components. More precisely, the degree six polynomial resulting from condition (C) cannot have more than three real positive roots: when there is only one such root, the admissible region has only one component, when there are three, it has two components (see Figures 1 and 2 in Milani et al 2004a).…”
