Earth's Busy Neighborhood
ACC's Small Object Report for 16-22 January 2006
A semi-automated report compiled on 22 January 2006 at 2359 UTC
There are 13* small objects reported in the last 168 hours, during which 2 were newly discovered.
*One other object with absolute magnitude just above H=22.0 is also included in this week's report.
Currently 951 NEAs are listed with H>22.0 by JPL and/or the Minor Planet Center (782 are listed as such by both).

Editor's note: "Small" is defined by an asteroid having an absolute
magnitude (brightness) calculated at greater than H=22.0, which equates very
roughly to 135
meters in diameter. Larger H means lesser size and the astronomical community
does not classify such objects as "potentially hazardous" no matter how close
they may come to the Earth. However, as demonstrated by the mile wide (1.6 km.)
Barringer Crater in Arizona, blasted out by a "small" asteroid some 50,000
years ago, some asteroids too small to be labeled potentially hazardous could
still cause severe local damage. These are sometimes called "Tunguska-class
objects" (TCOs), after the 1908 event that was probably caused by a comet
remnant or asteroid too small to be classified today as hazardous but packing
enough wallop to flatten a Siberian forest area the size of a large city.
NEODyS recently changed its main Risk page to qualify "Objects too
small to result in heavy damage on the ground" as having "absolute magnitude
> 25," which roughly corresponds to 35 meters wide. And JPL in October
started flagging (with a blue background) risk-listed objects of "Estimated
diameter 50 meters or less" as "not likely to cause significant damage in the
event of an impact, although impact damage does depend heavily upon the specific
(and usually unknown) physical properties of the object in question."
The discovery and follow-up tracking of asteroids with H>22.0 represents
some of the most difficult and very best observing work being done today by
amateur and professional astronomers around the world, and the page you are
reading is dedicated to recognizing their current successes.

- Jan. 22 #2: Today's DOU MPEC 2006-B24 reports observations of five small objects: 2005 CN, 2005 RA3, 2005 YR3, 2006 AM4, and 2006 AX44. Desert Moon Observatory in New Mexico added 22.890 days to what had been a 3.920-day second-opposition observing arc for 2005 CN and extended 2005 RA3's arc from 106.226 to 141.051 days. The Spacewatch 1.8m telescope in Arizona and Great Shefford Observatory in England reported 2006 AX44, and the in-view calculation for this object has now been shortened by a month, going out of view around March 9th instead of April 10th. The Spacewatch 1.8m also was used to track 2005 YR3, and the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona and Desert Moon tracked 2006 AM4.
- Jan. 22 #1: Early on the 22nd, discovery is announced of 2006 BF by LINEAR's New Mexico facility on the morning of the 20th UT. Confirmation came from eight observatories on both sides of the Atlantic: Great Shefford in England in the evening of the 20th and 21st, and, on the night of the 20th, Gnosca in Switzerland and Highworth in England, followed in the U.S. after midnight UT by Sabino Canyon in Arizona, Table Mountain in southern California, and Farpoint in Kansas, then last night by Schiaparelli in Italy and early today UT by McCarthy in Connecticut. JPL reports that this object passed Earth at about 6.5 lunar distances on Jan. 11th.
- Jan. 21: The Daily Orbit Update MPEC 2006-B14 for today reports observations of eight small objects: 2005 YA37, 2006 AF4, 2006 AG4, 2006 AM4, 2006 AP3, 2006 AX, 2006 AX44, and 2006 BA. The Spacewatch 1.8m telescope in Arizona caught 2006 AX44 yesterday morning and evening, adding 9.117 days to its 1.017-day observing arc, and today it was delisted as an impact risk. This same telescope was also used to add 16.054 days to 2005 YA37's 9.859-day arc, 13.040 days to 2006 AX's 4.993-day arc, and a bit more than eleven days to the two-day-plus arcs for 2006 AF4 and 2006 AG4.
UKAPP in Northern Ireland used the Faulkes Telescope North in Hawaii to add 8.588 days to 2006 AP3's 5.537-day observing arc. And the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona yesterday morning UT and Great Shefford Observatory in England overnight added 1.720 days to 2006 BA's 1.061-day discovery arc. Great Shefford also tracked 2006 AM4.
- Jan. 20: Today's DOU MPEC 2006-B12 reports observations of small objects 2006 AM4 and 2006 AW44, all coded to David Bowdley in Wales using the Faulkes Telescope North in Hawaii yesterday, and adding 7.669 days to the 1.658-day observing arc for 2006 AW44. Bowdley is Educational Director at the Faulkes project.
- Jan. 19: Discovery was announced today of 2006 BA, which JPL reports is roughly 10 meters wide and will, three days from now, pass Earth at 1.3 lunar distances, after which it goes quickly out of view. It was discovered by R.A. Kowalski at the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona yesterday morning and announced today after confirmation this morning by the discoverer and nearby Sabino Canyon Observatory. This marks the 950th object currently cataloged by the Minor Planet Center and/or JPL as having absolute magnitude (H) greater than 22.0, and the 780th cataloged as such by both.
Observations of one smallish and two small objects are reported in today's DOU MPEC 2006-B09. The SZTE Asteroid Program on Jan. 9th added 9.767 days to what had been a 60.212-day observation arc for2005 UR64, and UKAPP in Northern Ireland used the Faulkes North Telescope in Hawaii early yesterday UT to track risk-listed 2005 YR3 and formerly risk-listed 2006 AM4. SZTE also reported 2006 AM4 from the 9th.
- Jan. 18: Today's DOU MPEC 2006-B02 reports observations of two small objects. Farpoint Observatory in Kansas observed both this morning UT, adding 11.084 days to what had been an observing arc of 15.581 days for 2005 YR3, and extending 2006 AM4's 2.030-day arc by 9.718 days. At absolute magnitude H=21.9, 2006 AM4 is calculated to be slightly larger than the technical description for "small" asteroids. Its one impact solution was removed today, while 2005 YR3 continues to be listed with impact solutions.
- Jan. 16 & 17: There was no DOU MPEC on the 16th. A DOU issued late on the 17th includes no small object observations.
- See more news, from the week of 9-15 January 2006 and other weeks.

Out-of-view date based on MPES solar elongation <40° and/or magnitude V>22.0 at 1200 UT.
(Not factored in is any lunar interference with viewing.)
Objects are linked in the left-most column only if observed in the last seven days,
while objects with earlier small-object reporting are linked under "Notes."
Diameter ("Dia") is in meters, a very rough estimate from brightness (H).
Observing "Arc" is from MPES in days or number of oppositions.
