Earth's Busy Neighborhood
ACC's Small Object Report for 24-30 April 2006
A semi-automated report compiled on 30 April 2006 at 2359 UTC
There are 13 small asteroids reported in the last 168 hours, during which seven were newly discovered.
Currently 1,041 NEAs are listed with H>22.0 by JPL and/or the MPC (862 are listed as such by both).

Editor's note: As asteroids go, "small" is defined as having an
absolute magnitude (brightness) calculated at greater than H=22.0, which
converts very roughly to a diameter under 135 meters.
No matter how close they come to the Earth, the astronomical community
does not classify such objects as "potentially hazardous." 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, there are asteroids too small
to be labeled "potentially hazardous" that actually could cause severe local
damage. These are sometimes called "Tunguska-class objects" (TCOs), after the
1908 event probably caused by a comet fragment 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 in December 2005 changed its main Risk page to classify "Objects too
small to result in heavy damage on the ground" as having "absolute
magnitude > 25," which corresponds to perhaps 35 meters wide.
And JPL two months earlier 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."
Small asteroids that come close enough to Earth to be seen have significant
potential for scientific study today, and for exploration and
exploitation someday. Mainly a sampling of distant asteroid populations, a few
may be remnants of the event that created the Earth-Moon system.
Some of these objects are discovered while close to Earth moving across the sky
quite quickly, when they are called "FMOs" or "VFMOs" (very fast moving objects).
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 ongoing successes.

- Week in Review: Seven small asteroids were discovered this past week, three by the Catalina Sky Survey and two by the Mt. Lemmon Survey, both in Arizona, and two by LINEAR, located in New Mexico and operated from Massachusetts. Another six small asteroids were observed during the period. Nineteen observing facilities participated in this work, led by Great Shefford Observatory in England, which contributed discovery confirmations and follow-up for ten of the thirteen objects.
- April 30: Sunday's Daily Orbit Update (DOU) MPEC 2006-H63 carries astrometry for six small asteroids: Naef and Great Shefford observatories in Europe doubled the observing arc for 2006 HZ5 to about ten days. Table Mountain Observatory in southern California provided the first follow-up for 2006 HV30 and, with Naef, 2006 HX30. Also tracked were 2006 HH56, 2006 HU50, and 2006 HV50.
- April 29 #2: Discovery of small asteroid 2006 HH56 has been announced late today. It was discovered this morning by Ed Beshore at the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona and was confirmed as night moved over Australia with three sets of observations from Rob McNaught at the Siding Spring Survey.
- April 29 #1: Saturday DOU MPEC 2006-H60 reports observation of one small asteroid, 2006 HU50, from Pla D'Arguines Observatory in Spain providing the first post-discovery follow-up.
- April 28: The discovery of one small asteroid, 2006 HW50 was announced early today and observations of two others are reported in Friday's DOU MPEC 2006-H55:
2006 HF6 and
2006 HV50. 2006 HW50 was first noted by LINEAR in New Mexico on April 23rd and the discovery was confirmed yesterday morning and overnight.
- April 27 #2: Two small-asteroid discoveries made yesterday were announced late today -- 2006 HU50 from the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona and 2006 HV50 from LINEAR in New Mexico. JPL reports that 2006 HU50 will pass Earth at 3.8 lunar distances on May 4th.
- April 27 #1: Thursday DOU MPEC 2006-H38 reports observations of five small asteroids:
2006 FH36,
2006 GB1,
2006 HC,
2006 HF6, and
2006 HW5. Spacewatch with its 1.8m telescope and Tim Spahr with the Whipple Observatory 1.2m telescope added 3.797 days to what had been a 1.177-day observing arc for the risk-listed and departing 2006 HF6.
- April 26: Discoveries of three small asteroids have been announced today, Wednesday:
2006 HS30,
2006 HV30, and
2006 HX30. All were discovered from Arizona, the first two by the Mt. Lemmon Survey on the 24th and 25th, and the third by the Catalina Sky Survey on the 25th. All were confirmed by Great Shefford Observatory in England and Grasslands Observatory in Arizona, and 2006 HX30 also by Robert Hutsebaut in Belgium operating a telescope in New Mexico. 2006 HS30 is estimated by standard formula to be on the order of only eight meters in diameter.
Today's DOU MPEC 2006-H38 reports observations of four small asteroids:
2006 GB1,
2006 HC,
2006 HW5, and
2006 HZ5. 2006 HW5 was risk listed until these first follow-up observations were published from the Spacewatch 1.8m telescope in Arizona and Great Shefford.
- April 25: No small asteroid observations were reported in Tuesday's DOU MPEC.
- April 24: The Monday DOU MPEC 2006-H32 reports astrometry for one small asteroid, 2006 GB1.
- See more news, from the week of 16-23 April and other weeks, or look up individual objects here. Also see reports about the nominal 1,000th small-asteroid discovery as counted by A/CC during the week ending February 26th, and, from the week of March 12th, a report on the end of the FMO Project at Spacewatch.

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.
