ADAM::THOR

(computerized system for discovering asteroids in observation data)

ADAM::THOR is a system for discovering asteroids in observation data, consisting of ADAM (for Asteroid Discovery, Analysis, and Mapping), a framework providing the necessary computational resources along with an appropriate user interface, and THOR (for Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery), an implementation of a new algorithm for orbit determination, also called THOR.


Note that the name ADAM has also been used for unrelated asteroid-related software, standing for All-Data Asteroid Modeling, which determines an asteroid's 3D shape from observation data.
