Radar Astrometry on 17 April '20
Radar observation of one object
The JPL Solar System Dynamics Group Radar Astrometry database has added or updated the following small-body radar observing work:
Data update noted at 1600 UTC when the database was dated 17 April
- 52768 1998 OR2 from Arecibo (April 16.96 range & 16.99 range)
Photometry and some astrometry is needed for upcoming radar targets. See Arecibo and Goldstone schedules.
NEOCP Activity on 17 April '20
The MPC's NEO Confirmation Page has 59 listings
When last checked at 2358 UTC today, the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object discovery Confirmation Page (NEOCP) had 59 objects listed. Of these, 36 were "one nighters." So far The Tracking News has counted a total of 72 listings on the NEOCP today.
To learn how observers use the NEOCP, see the Practical guide on how to observe NEOCP object at Suno Observatory by Birtwhistle et al.

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 Once superceded or eliminated, a former impact solution has zero relevance to an object's risk.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.
