In planetology , a light curve can be used to estimate the rotation period of a minor planet , moon , or comet nucleus .
In the study of planets ( planetology ) , a light curve can be used to work out the rotation period of a minor planet , moon , or comet nucleus .
Experimenters use the following elements that are used in beamlines for conditioning the radiation beam between the storage ring and the end station : The combination of beam conditioning devices controls the thermal load ( heating caused by the beam ) at the end station ; the spectrum of radiation incident at the end station ; and the focus or collimation of the beam .
