Abstract:

In this paper, the objects of study are near-Earth asteroids, or NEA for short. They are small solid celestial bodies that closely approach or intersect the Earth’s orbit. From a scientific point of view, NEA approaches to the Earth allow us to study cosmic bodies. On the other hand, the importance of studying NEA is justified by the danger of these bodies falling to the Earth and causing catastrophic events. The fall of NEAs to the Earth’s surface is a proven fact. Such events occurred in the past history of the Earth, are occurring at present and are expected in the future. Therefore, in order to predict such falls and understand the degree of danger, it is necessary to discover new NEAs and study them. Regular photometric observations of NEAs are carried out at the Abastumani Observatory, which are primarily the observatory’s contribution to solving the global problem of ”Asteroid Hazard”. The study of asteroids in Abastumani will be continued by conducting their optical observations in selected areas of research.

General note:

Communications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (ComBAO) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, which publishes research in observational and theoretical astronomy/astrophysics and presents recent advances in these fields. It is being published by the NAS RA V. Ambartsumian Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) in English in electronic form. The journal publishes original papers, review papers, brief reports, book reviews, special communications, observational and theoretical results in various fields of astronomy and related sciences, and some editorial notes, including anniversaries and obituaries. Under the heading “Legacy”, the renewed magazine will republish some old articles of high value in English. The heading “Guest articles” will bring to the attention of readers the articles of researchers who are not employees of BAO. ComBAO was founded in 1946 and regularly published in 1946-1990. However, the publication was interrupted because of the economic situation after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991.
