NEOCP Activity  on 28 June '09

The MPC's NEO Confirmation Page has 7 listings: 3 new, 4 updated

When last checked at 2226 UTC today, the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object discovery Confirmation Page (NEOCP) had three new and four updated listings. Of these, three were "one nighters."

Impact Risk Monitoring  on 28 June '09

Summary Risk Table for Risk Assessments Updated Today   (last checks: NEODyS and JPL at 2226 UTC)
See the CRT page for a list of all objects rated recently as risks and our ephemerides page for a list of risk-listed objects under current observation.
The time horizon for JPL is 100 years from today and for NEODyS is usually the year 2090. Beginning Jan. 22nd, both are also posting impact solutions beyond 100 years for a few objects.
For the latest official risk assessments, and for explanations of the terminology, see the JPL NEO Program Sentry and NEODyS CLOMON (backup) risk pages.

Notes for Today's Latest Risk Assessments
2009 LU2JPL Sentry14572012-2108245.5e-06-3.39-3.660JPL: "Analysis based on 16 observations spanning 12.058 days (2009-Jun-14.20491 to 2009-Jun-26.262609)." Diameter approximately 0.110 km. from mean, weighted H=22.5.
NEODyS14572012-2089335.19e-06-3.35-3.570NEODyS: "Based on 17 optical observations (of which 1 are rejected as outliers) from 2009/06/14.206 to 2009/06/26.263."

Legend: VI# = VI count, Prob Cum = cumulative probability, PS Cum/Max = cumulative/maximum Palermo Scale, TS = Torino Scale

An impact solution, also known as a "virtual impactor" (VI), is not a prediction but rather a possibility derived from a variant orbit calculation that cannot be eliminated yet based on the existing data. Elimination can come quickly with just a little further observation or may take weeks or months, sometimes years. Once superceded or eliminated, a former impact solution has zero relevance to an object's risk. See Jon Giorgini's "Understanding Risk Pages" to learn more.
