Parallel sessions

The original SDSS allowed accurate photometric properties of tens of thousands of asteroids to be measured. Similarly, the Palomar Transient Factory has tripled the number of known asteroidal lightcurves. 2017 will see the release of Pan-STARRS DR2 dataset, allowing high-precision sparse multicolour photometry and astrometry of asteroids, comets, Centaurs, TNOs and small planetary moons. Alongside other surveys, in the future we can expect the GAIA moving object catalogues, and the commencement of LSST operations. These facilities will not only allow population studies, but will be instrumental in revealing rare objects from Near-Earth Space to the Outer Solar System. This session will welcome all presentations on the design, analysis and potential of existing and future wide-field surveys.
