Scientific paper

The orbits of 923 asteroids that came within 0.1 AU of (15) Eunomia were analyzed to determine its mass and gave a weighted mean mass of (1.62 ± 0.05) × 10-11 M sun. The process was automated, which forced the use of uniform criteria for selection and weighting of both the observations and the individual solutions. Statistical combination of a large number of cases including numerous implausible individual results, gives reasonable mass values even for subsets of weakly determined individual solutions. This approach mitigates the impact of mismodeling as well as observation errors and/or poor distribution of data that might affect individual test cases.
