----------------------------------- ovidiuv 11 Iul 2019 09:57 Noi contributii la proiectul EURONEAR VIMP ----------------------------------- Salut, O stire recenta postata de noi si pe FB: The very young amateur astronomer Daria Ciobanu recently joined the project Virtual Impactors via Mega Precovery (VIMP), being trained by Lucian Curelaru. Daria analyzed some VIs, searching them carefully on archival images taken for other aims with the Blanco telescope and the huge DECam mosaic camera. Two of these apparently dangerous objects (namely 2013TH6 and 2017 EA) were removed from the risk lists today, accordingly to NASA JPL Sentry and ESA Pisa NEODyS. Congratulations to Daria! The results of the EURONEAR VIMP projects will be briefly presented at the ESPC-DPS 2019 conference in Geneva in Sep 2019. Using the powerful Mega-Precovery and VIMP data mining tools, currently we eliminated more than 30 VIs from at least one risk list using DECam archive only! Potentially new volunteers could still join this exciting VIMP citizen scientist project and have a chance to make the nearby space safer! ----------------------------------- Astroclubul Bucuresti 18 Aug 2019 14:57 ----------------------------------- Felicitări Daria Ciobanu pentru contribuția la proiectul EURONEAR VIMP! ----------------------------------- theogon 18 Aug 2019 18:32 ----------------------------------- Da, așa zicem și noi felicitări pentru Daria Ciobanu ----------------------------------- ovidiuv 25 Aug 2019 19:45 ----------------------------------- Legat de proiectul VIMP, iata si o comunicare apropiata la Conferinta internationala (europeano-americana) EPSC-DPS 2019 ce va avea loc la Geneva in septembrie si unde ne va reprezenta cu un poster Marcel Popescu: Eliminating Virtual Impactors with Mega-Precovery (VIMP) http://www.euronear.org/publications/VIMP-EPSC-DPS-2019.pdf Desi Daria nu face parte din aceasta comunicare (ea fiind planuita inainte de intrarea ei in proiect), VIMP-ul continua si a mai primit recent inca o contributoare din Timisoara, si sper sa mai creasca si cu cativa voluntari din Craiova in viitorul apropiat...
