Earth's Busy Neighborhood
ACC's Small Object Report for 12-18 March 2007
A semi-automated report compiled on 18 March 2007 at 2359 UTC
There were 31 small asteroids* reported in the last 168 hours, during which 16 were newly discovered.
*This week's news also includes one object formerly classified as small.
Currently 1,280 NEAs are listed with H>22.0 by JPL and/or the MPC (1,098 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 in the future. They present a sampling of distant asteroid
populations and 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.

- March 18: On Sunday the Daily Orbit Update (DOU) MPEC 2007-F31 reports observations of two small asteroids. One of these, risk-listed and soon-to-disappear 2007 EO88, also got its own post-DOU MPEC with additional observations. Altogether, it was observed by Mandi Observatory in Italy from the night of the 16th, by LINEAR in New Mexico yesterday morning, and by the Catalina and Siding Spring sky surveys in Arizona and Australia today. 2007 EO88 later this day skims just outside the Earth-Moon system, passing at 1.3 lunar distances from Earth.
2007 EH's 44-hour observing arc was extended by 44 minutes by Great Shefford Observatory in England, which managed to catch this tiny intruder on March 11th almost an hour after it passed through the Earth-Moon system at one-half lunar distance from Earth. It soon after went out of view.
- March 17 #3: Three small-asteroid discoveries have been announced, all discovered yesterday morning from Arizona. The Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) observed both 2007 EE126 and 2007 FC twice yesterday morning and alone confirmed 2007 EE126 this morning while the Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona caught 2007 FC this morning. Spacewatch discovered 2007 FB with its 0.9-meter telescope, and the 1.8-meter confirmed it this morning. JPL reports that 2007 EE126 passed Earth at 5.0 lunar distances (LD) on March 10th, 2007 FB 11.0 LD on March 1st, and 2007 FC at 15.1 LD on February 25th. And they aren't sticking around much longer. Based on their preliminary orbit calculations, 2007 EE126 goes out of view a day from now for most NEO observers, and the other two will fade away in five to nine days. Update: 2007 EE126 has been listed as an impact risk.
- March 17 #2: On Saturday, newly discovered 2007 EJ88 has been listed as a risk. Today's DOU MPEC 2007-F23 reports observations of eight small asteroids. Risk-listed 2007 EO88's discovery arc was extended by fourteen hours by Gnosca and Remanzacco observatories in Switzerland and Italy, and observation from within that arc is reported from LINEAR in New Mexico. San Marcello Pistoiese Observatory in Italy tracked 2007 EG and risk-listed 2007 EV. KLENOT in the Czech Republic pursued 2007 EY25, 2007 EK26, and 2007 EM26, while Farpoint Observatory in Kansas reported 2007 EH26, which was delisted today as an impact risk, and both facilities observed 2007 EN26.
- March 17 #1: New discoveries 2007 EN88 and 2007 EO88 have been listed as impact risks.
- March 16 #2: Out of ten asteroid discoveries announced today, five are small objects. The Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) in Arizona discovered 2007 EF88 Tuesday morning, the 13th UT, and first spotted 2007 EG88 and
2007 EJ88 the next morning. Yesterday morning, 2007 EN88 was discovered by LINEAR in New Mexico and 2007 EO88 by the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) in Arizona. The CSS went on to help confirm its own discovery and the MLS did the same for its three discoveries plus one other. KLENOT in the Czech Republic was in on confirming all five, and Farpoint Observatory in Kansas and Jim Young at Table Mountain Observatory in southern California pitched in on four. Three were confirmed with the Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope and two by Grasslands Observatory in Arizona. And Great Shefford, Farra d'Isonzo, and Desert Moon observatories in England, Italy, and New Mexico
each caught one.
The first of these discoveries is a distant object, as small asteroids go, coming no closer than some 40 lunar distances (LD) according to the MPC's current calculation, but three of these objects aren't so shy. JPL reports that 2007 EO88 will fly by at 1.3 LD two days from now, 2007 EN88 passed Earth at 2.3 LD two days before discovery, and 2007 EG8 will pass at 7.5 LD on March 26th. 2007 EN88 goes out of view for most NEO observers in about a week and fades for larger telescopes over the following two weeks, while 2007 EO88 will go out of view for all ground-based optical telescopes after March 19th.
- March 16 #1: Friday DOU MPEC 2007-F01 reports observations of ten small asteroids. San Marcello Pistoiese Observatory in Italy extended 2007 EU's observing arc from about three to five days and also observed risk-rated 2007 EV, which passes Earth today at 4.7 lunar distances and goes out of view in a couple days. Jim Young at JPL's Table Mountain Observatory added about four days to 2007 EO's two-day arc. Spacewatch with its 1.8-meter telescope tracked risk rated 2007 EZ25 and 2007 EH26. 2007 EK26's arc was doubled to about four days by observations from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) in Arizona yesterday morning and from KLENOT in the Czech Republic last night. The CSS also observed 2007 CQ5. And KLENOT doubled 2007 EM26's arc to about four days and also reported 2007 EC and 2007 EY25.
- March 15: Thursday's DOU MPEC 2007-E72 reports observations of nine small asteroids. Spacewatch used its 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona to double the observing arc of risk-listed 2007 EH26 to about four days, to follow risk-listed 2007 EZ25, which is calculated to have gone out of view for most NEO observers today, and also to track 2007 DX and 2007 DX60. Great Shefford Observatory in England reported risk-listed 2007 EV, and doubled the observing arc of 2007 EG26 to about four days. KLENOT in the Czech Republic and Great Shefford observed 2007 EN26, and KLENOT observed 2007 EY25. And Desert Moon Observatory in New Mexico tracked 2007 EC.
Today's DOU has a 0608 UTC internal time stamp but wasn't posted, nor apparently E-mailed, until much later. Not available at 1452 on the Web, it was subsequently downloaded with a 1523 MPC server time stamp. (A related, mirrored MPCORB NEA orbital elements data file was noted to have a 0630 server time stamp, however.)
At last check the MPC's NEO Confirmation Page (NEOCP) remains unavailable since sometime after 2038 yesterday UTC, when thirteen discovery objects were listed, all but one of them one-nighters. Update: By 2032 and sometime after 1922 UTC, the NEOCP is back online.
- March 14: DOU MPEC 2007-E69 on Wednesday reports observations of ten small asteroids. Intruder 2007 EK, which was relisted today as an impact risk, is reported from Remanzacco and Great Shefford observatories in Italy and England in the hours before it passed Earth yesterday. Great Shefford reported one position from 0349, just ahead of the 0530 UT passage at 0.7 lunar distance. This object has now gone out of view for all ground-based optical telescopes. Spacewatch with its 1.8-meter telescope reported risk-listed 2007 EV and
2007 EZ25 from yesterday morning. The Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona also reported 2007 EV from yesterday and Great Shefford from this morning. Great Shefford doubled the observing arc of 2007 EN26 to about two days.
The 1.8-meter was also used to extend 2007 BC8's observing arc from about 33 to 49 days and to track 2007 DX60. Peschiera del Garda Observatory in Italy observed 2007 EG on the 12th and 13th. KLENOT in the Czech Republic doubled 2007 EK26's observing arc to about two days and, along with Antares Observatory in Illinois, provided the first follow-up for 2007 EM26. And the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona provided the first follow-up for 2007 EL26.
- Site news: Today, March 13th, is the fifth annivarsary of daily news reporting of minor object news by A/CC. Over time a special interest developed in the small asteroids that are Earth's closest neighbors. Special weekly reports began in December 2003 and ran through October 2004, then resumed in December 2005 continuing through today.
- March 13 #3: Tuesday DOU MPEC 2007-E67 reports observations of ten small asteroids. Great Shefford Observatory in England observed intruder 2007 EK this morning four and a half hours before it flew past the Earth at 0.7 lunar distance and today this object was delisted as an impact risk. Farra d'Isonzo Observatory in Italy slightly extended the observing arc of new discovery 2007 EK26 and Bergen-Enkheim Observatory in Germany did the same for 2007 EN26. KLENOT in the Czech Republic provided the first follow-up for 2007 EY25, doubled the observing arc for 2007 DB61 to about sixteen days, and also tracked 2007 EG. Linz Observatory in Austria added about two days to 2007 EU's one day arc. Spacewatch with its 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona observed risk-listed 2007 EV as well as 2007 DX60, which was also reported by Naef Observatory in Switzerland. And the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona extended 2007 DQ40's arc from about thirteen to eighteen days and added about fifteen days to what had been a seventeen-day arc for almost-small 2007 CH15.
- March 13 #2: Tuesday is off to an early start with the announcements of three small-asteroid discoveries. 2007 EL26, found Saturay morning, and 2007 EM26, found Monday morning, were discovered by the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona. 2007 EN26 was found Monday morning by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona. KLENOT in the Czech Republic helped confirm two of these, and Remanzacco and Schiaparelli observatories in Italy, Gnosca and Farpoint observatories in Switzerland and Kansas, and the Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona also participated in the confirmation process. 2007 EL6 and 2007 EM26 are distant objects for their size, calculated by the MPC to come no closer to Earth than about 62 lunar distances. 2007 EN26 can come within about five lunar distances and JPL reports that it will pass Earth at 13.2 LD on March 29th.
New discovery 2007 EH26 has now been listed as an impact risk.
- March 13 #1: Newly discovered 2007 EZ25 has been listed as an impact risk. It is calculated to remain in view for most NEO observers for only two more days and to be gone for all observers before the end of the month.
- March 12 #2 & 3: Six small-asteroid discoveries were announced late in the day. Four of the discoveries came from the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) in Arizona -- 2007 EY25 and
2007 EZ25, first spotted Friday morning,
and 2007 EE26 and
2007 EH26, found Saturday morning. And two discoveries came also from nearby in Arizona, from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) -- 2007 EG26 from Saturday morning and 2007 EK26 from today. The MLS helped confirm all of its discoveries and one of the other two. 2007 EG26 was spotted by LINEAR in New Mexico half an hour after the CSS found it, and this object went on to be confirmed by the CSS, MLS, and eight more observatories. The other discoveries did not get nearly so much attention. The Spacewatch 1.8m telescope in Arizona and Antares Observatory in Illinois each confirmed four of the six objects, and KLENOT in the Czech Republic got three. Two confirmations were brought in by Remanzacco, Great Shefford, Farpoint, Sabino Canyon, and Table Mountain observatories in Italy, England, Kansas, Arizona, and southern California. And also participating were Modra, Gnosca, Wildberg, and Alter Satzberg obervatories in Slovakia, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
Of the six discoveries, 2007 EZ25 is calculated in three days to be the first to go out of view for most NEO observers, and longest lasting will be 2007 EK26, in view for another 12 days. 2007 EK26 is also the closest passing of the bunch, which are all flying near. JPL reports that it passed 1.8 lunar distances (LD) from Earth on Saturday. 2007 EZ25 was at 4 LD on March 4th and 2007 EG26 at 7.0 LD on March 9th. 2007 EE26 slipped past at 8.1 LD on February 18th. And on March 18th 2007 EY25 will pass at 8.0 LD and 2007 EH26 at 13.1 LD.
Of 1,105 asteroids classified as small by the MPC, 2004 FD today became only the 37th to be observed at second opposition. It was rediscovered by the MLS Saturday morning and "Added Mar. 10.53 UT" to the NEO Confirmation page, then was confirmed yesterday morning with the Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope and by the MLS itself. 2004 FD was first discovered by Spacewatch with its 0.9-meter telescope in March 2004 and had been last reported observed by Stony Ridge Observatory in southern California at the end of a 5.188-day observing arc. It was predicted to come into view after February 21st and will be around only until about March 27th for most NEO observers.
- March 12 #1: Monday's DOU MPEC 2007-E51 reports observations of seven small asteroids. Risk-listed intruder 2007 EK was observed by KLENOT in the Czech Republic and Great Shefford Observatory in England. Great Shefford also reported risk-listed 2007 EV as did Guidestar Observatory in Germany. 2007 EG was observed by KLENOT and by Herrenberg and Dark Roseanne observatories in Germany and Connecticut. 2007 CQ5 and 2007 EC were tracked by Desert Moon Observatory in New Mexico, 2007 DX60 by the Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope, and 2007 EO by the Siding Spring Survey in Australia.

Out-of-view date based on MPES solar elongation <40° and/or magnitude V>22.0 at 1200 UT
geocentric. (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.
"In view" does not necessarily mean locatable for objects with short arcs in prior years
and for which a large search or accidental rediscovery are the best hopes.
