摘要

We consider the application of interferometry to measuring the sizes andshapes of small bodies in the solar system that cannot be spatially resolved bytoday's single-dish telescopes. Assuming ellipsoidal shapes, our resultsindicate that interferometers can measure the size of an object to better than15% uncertainty if the limb-darkening is unknown. Assuming a Minnaertscattering model, one can theoretically derive the limb-darkening parametersfrom simultaneous measurements of visibilities at several different projectedbaseline lengths to improve the size and shape determination to an accuracy ofa few percent. With a 3-D shape model for the dwarf planet Haumea, wedemonstrate that when photometric light curve, visibility light curve, andvisibility phase center displacement are combined, the rotational period andsense of rotation can all be derived, and the rotational pole can be estimated.Because of its elongated shape and the dark red spot, the rotation of Haumeacauses its optical photocenter to move in a loop on the sky, extending of ~80muas without the dark red spot, and ~200 muas with it. Such movements areeasily detectable by space-based astrometric interferometer designed e.g. forplanet detection. As an example, we consider the possible contributions to thestudy of small bodies in the solar system by the Space Interferometry Mission.We show that such a mission could make substantial contributions incharacterizing the fundamental physical properties of the brightest Kuiper BeltObjects and Centaurs as well as a large number of main belt asteroids. Wecompile a list of Kuiper Belt Objects and Centaurs that are potentiallyscientifically interesting and observable by such missions.
