Abstract

Investigation of Solar System Objects is one of the ongoing scientific programs performed at the 1.5m Russian-Turk telescope RTT150 almost since the observational facilities became operational. Available scientific telescope equipment makes it possible to perform comprehensive studies of these objects including high-precision positional, photometric, and spectroscopic measurements. Following the integration of a polarimeter into the telescope scientific facilities in order to measure the linear polarization of celestial light sources, the polarimetric observations of asteroids have begun at the end of 2014.
