VI.5 - Participation in conducting (leading) the most important research projects or art projects over the last six years

VEGA 1/0911/17 (2017 - 2020) Evolution of bodies under the influence of gravitational and non-gravitational forces.

The aim is to verify the real effect of non-gravitational forces on the motion of dust particles, as the effect of the solar wind in particular is proving to be so far underestimated for certain specific particle sizes. In the observation part, there is an attempt to compare the rotational characteristics of the V types of asteroids we observed with the characteristics of other types. - a project representative

VEGA 1/0530/22 (2022 - 2025) Slope parameters, absolute magnitudes and senses of rotation of V-types of asteroids.

With our targeted long-term photometric observations of a number of asteroids of taxonomic type V, being located either in the Vesta family or outside it, at different phase angles and different geometric conditions, we determine, among other things, the values of the slope parameters and absolute magnitudes. In addition, for a part of the examined bodies we gradually obtain valuable material for determination of their approximate shape and sense of rotation..- a project leader
