Moving Object Search Tool

The Moving Object Search Tool (MOST) is a tool that computes the orbit of a solar system object and searches for images that covered the object's predicted positions in select image archives housed by IRSA. Aids to visualization include an orbit plot and links to display the FITS images. It can serve as a "precovery" tool, determining whether newly discovered objects were previously observed.

This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
