1 The state of MANOS and asteroid.lowell.edu Brian Burt - Lowell Observatory Hotwired 5
2 LOWELL ASTEROID SERVICES asteroid.lowell.edu Facilitates observations and observational planning Created and managed by Ted Bowell, Bruce Koehn, and Larry Wasserman The foundation for many of the tools is a suite of custom ephemeris and orbit calculation software. High precision ephemerides (based on MPC observations file) with positional error estimates
3 THE PROBLEM Developed in the 1970s The asteroid population was relatively small Asteroid physical properties were relatively few/centralized The database is a series of flat files The code base is Fortran, IDL and ETA
4 THE PROBLEM Developed in the 1970s The asteroid population was relatively small Asteroid physical properties were relatively few/centralized The database is a series of flat files The code base is Fortran, IDL and ETA
5 45 YEARS OF DISCOVERY The asteroid population was small Discovery Main Belt NEO / NEO Planet Discovered ~ 712,000 asteroids in 46 years! Currently 717,768 minor planets! ~ 40,000 this year so far! (10/10/2016) Scott Manley
6 THE GOALS Technical: Modernize the front and back end Migrate to a relational database Fortran/IDL/ETA code refactor and future development in Python3
7 THE GOALS Technical: Modernize the front and back end Migrate to a relational database Fortran/IDL/ETA code refactor and future development in Python3 Science: Addition of physical properties to the current catalog of orbital elements
8 THE GOALS Technical: Modernize the front and back end Migrate to a relational database Fortran/IDL/ETA code refactor and future development in Python3 Science: Addition of physical properties to the current catalog of orbital elements Community Portal: Rapid notification of information Community component for contribution, coordination, and collaboration Open source and free to use
9 NOVEL PLANNING What are all the S-type, near-earth asteroids, smaller than 5km in diameter, that are observable next Tuesday? Currently, there is no one service that can answer that question.
10 COMMUNITY PORTAL Facilitate collaboration and rapid dissemination of data. The Community Web Portal Faster, more efficient science. Ask interesting questions.

13 GOALS 1. Observe and measure physical properties of ~ 300 Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) with less than 100 meter diameter. 2. Rapid follow-up observations: Astrometry Refine orbits Photometry Rotational properties, morphology Spectroscopy Composition, link to meteorites
14 WHY SMALL NEOS? Mission Targets ( v < 6km/s): Robotic, human exploration, resources (pit stops) Meteorite Parent Bodies: Impact Hazard Assessment Planetary Physics Compositional Diversity
15 MOTIVATION NEAs now

34 45 YEARS OF DISCOVERY The asteroid population was small Discovered ~ 712,000 asteroids in 46 years! Currently 717,768 minor planets! ~ 40,000 this year so far! (10/4/2016) Discovery Main Belt NEO / NEO Planet Scott Manley
35 CODE REFACTOR One major component of the former backend Lots of dependency Some pieces will be re-written and some pieces will be wrapped in Python3
36 INFRASTRUCTURE Then Flat files are good for small, isolated data Modern Tools Fortran, IDL, ETA are not web friendly or database friendly. Now Relational databases all for faster, more flexible, more complex data. Python3 is modern, flexible, and well supported.
37 COMMUNITY PORTAL Facilitate collaboration and rapid dissemination of data. I got a spectrum of this asteroid last night. Hey guys. I get a visible spectrum tomorrow night! Getting a light curve now! Community Portal
