Abstract: The masses of 21 asteroids from the main belt were determined by dynamical method. The masses of 13 asteroids have relative errors less than 50 %. It is found that the exclusion of earlier positional observations and the use of contemporary high-accuracy ones reduce the error of asteroid mass determination. |
