Аннотация

Masses of asteroids 10 Hygiea and 152 Atala have been obtained by the dynamical method. Some other asteroids were used as test particles. We evaluated the contributions from different perturbing asteroids and the additional acceleration caused by the Yarkovsky effect in determining the masses. The influence of different criteria for elimination of erroneous observations on the value of determined mass was studied. The final mass values were obtained by common solutions based on optical observations of eight perturbed asteroids for 10 Hygiea
