Physical studies of asteroids with photometric and polarimetric techniques

这个项目源于一项密集的观测活动，以获取太阳系各种物体的新的光度和偏振数据，从彗星到小行星，再到巨行星。观测已经或将从大型设施获得，如VLT和WHT，以及两个中小型设施：Calern观测站（法国尼斯天文台的一个设施）和保加利亚的Rozhen天文台。Zuri将加入一个国际合作项目，包括来自意大利、法国、保加利亚（进行观测）和芬兰（进行理论建模）的研究人员。经过一段需要在卡伦和罗真停留的训练期后，Zuri将负责大部分观测和数据简化，并将学习数据建模的基本原则，特别强调推导小行星的一些重要物理性质。该项目还将扩展到基于即将到来的欧空局彗星拦截器任务的极化观测的可行性研究，为该航天器上的仪器设计做出贡献。

This projects stems from an intensive observing campaign to acquire new photometric and polarimetric data for various objects of the solar system, from comets to asteroids, to giant planets. Observations have been or will be obtained from major facilities such as the VLT and the WHT, as well as two small to mid-size facilities: the observing station of Calern (a facility of the Observatory of Nice, France) and the Rozhen Observatory in Bulgaria. Zuri is to join an international collaboration, involving researchers from Italy, France, Bulgaria (for the observations) and Finland (for the theoretical modelling). After a training period requiring a stay in Calern and in Rozhen, Zuri will take care of a large part of the observations and of data reduction, and will learn the basic principle of data modelling, with particular emphasis on the derivation of some important physical properties of the asteroids. This project will also extend to a feasibility study of polarimetric observations based on the upcoming COMET Interceptor ESA mission, contributing to the design of instrumentation on board this spacecraft.
