题 目：The Search for Vulcanoid Asteroids

报告人： Landon Curt Noll

Fremont Peak Observatory, USA

摘 要: The innermost region of our solar system is known as the Vulcanoid zone, and it has remained largely unexplored. Discovering Vulcanoid asteroids with a mean distance to the Sun less than that of Mercury would greatly add to our understanding of the birth and evolution of our solar system - not to mention those of other Sun-like stars in the Milky Way. We present methods and results of the most recent Vulcanoid search during the March 2006 eclipse and plans for the next search August 2008 China Eclipse search. Ideas for more advanced Vulcanoid searches will be given.
