The synodic period and maximum amplitude of (147) at this apparition are 7.852 hours and 0.25 mag, respectively. The value of a/b for (147), from a preliminary estimation, is not less than 1.26:1.展开更多

In a majority of asteroids, the disk-integrated photometry measurement constitutes the primary source of the above knowledge. In the present paper, newly observed photometric data and existing data on(585) Bilkis are analyzed based on a Lommel-Seeliger ellipsoid model. With a Markov chain Monte Carlo(MCMC) method, we have determined the spin parameters(period, pole orientation)and shape(b/a, c/a) of(585) Bilkis and their uncertainties. As a result, we obtained a rotational period of 8.5738209 h with an uncertainty of 9×10^-7h, and derived a pole of(136.46°, 29.0°) in the ecliptic frame of J2000.0 with uncertainties of 0.67°and 1.1°in longitude and latitude respectively. We also derived triaxial ratios b/a and c/a of(585) Bilkis as 0.736 and 0.70 with uncertainties of 0.003 and 0.03 respectively.展开更多

Meanwhile,the axial ratios of the tri-axial ellipsoid are estimated:a/b=1.77+0.10 -0.08 and b/c=1.17+0.07 -0.09 .展开更多
