Title: RAZVOJ ALGORITMA ZA ISPITIVANJE PRIPADNOSTI ASTEROIDA FAMILIJAMA
Author: Radović, Viktor
Abstract: The main goal of this dissertation is improvement of an approach for identi- cation of the members of asteroid families, based on the hierarchical clustering method. An additional step is introduced in order to reduce a so-called chaining e ect. The introduced algorithm consists of four main steps. In the rst step, the hierarchical clustering method is applied to the initial catalogue of proper elements in order to obtain a preliminary list of family members. In the second step, using available physical properties, and based upon the de ned criteria, the interlopers are identi ed. In the third step, objects identi ed as interlopers in the second step, are excluded from the initial catalogue of proper orbital elements, producing a modi ed catalogue. Finally, in the fourth step, the HCM analysis is performed again, but this time using the modi ed catalogue of proper elements. It is shown that in this way a number of potential interlopers among family members is signi cantly reduced. Moreover, an on-line based portal (Asteroids Families Portal; AFP) to apply this procedure is developed, and is freely available to all interested researchers. The second goal of the dissertation is to determine the limitations of the backward integration method, used for estimation of ages of young asteroid families. This aim is achieved through numerical simulations of the evolution of a ctitious family. By determining instants of secular angles i $ clustering, a linear relationship is found between the depth of a clustering and the age of a family. According to the obtained results, the backward integration method could be successfully applied to families not older than 18 Myrs.
