Radar Astronomy Basics
TRANSMIT SIGNAL ANALYZE ECHO GET OBJECT INFO Transmitted wave Echo from distant object
3
Rotational Velocity of Asteroid
Object rotation → vradial → Doppler shift in frequency Gives combination of rotational velocity and radius vradial = ω ∙ r Fourier transform the echo to get the spectrum
4
Size of Asteroid D = c/2 ∙ t
Round trip light travel time gives distance to surface D = c/2 ∙ t Knowing the size and rotational velocity of the asteroid gives its period #1 #2 #3 pole
