A light curve records how an object’s brightness changes over time. For satellites and space debris, it can show the object’s shape, spin and type. This review gathers the methods used to classify objects from their light curves and points out open problems for space situational awareness.
The work is part of our K-SSA collaboration with Prof. Regina Lee’s lab.
