Scientific paper

Observational, theoretical, and computational research was performed, mainly on asteroids. Two principal areas of research, centering on astrometry and photometry, are interrelated in their aim to study the overall structure of the asteroid belt and the physical and orbital properties of individual asteroids. Two highlights are: detection of CN emission from Chiron; and realization that 1990 MB is the first known Trojan type asteroid of a planet other than Jupiter. A new method of asteroid orbital error analysis, based on Bayesian theory, was developed.
