General information
The conference is devoted to the 210th anniversary of astronomy science in Kharkiv, the 100th
anniversary since starting regular observations of the Moon and 40th anniversary of asteroid study in Kharkiv Astronomical Observatory. The main rationale of the conference is to provide a deep and comprehensive insight in the selected aspects of the study of atmosphereless Solar system bodies both by ground-based techniques and space missions. The conference brings together experts in various remote techniques and modeling to disseminate new ideas and the latest results of investigations of small Solar system bodies and planetary satellites.
Main topics
- Optics of the Moon
- Planetary regolith: observations and simulations
- Physical properties of asteroids and Transneptunian objects
