Earth's Busy Neighborhood

ACC's Small Object Report for 19-25 Dec. 2005

A semi-automated report compiled on 25 December 2005 at 2359 UTC

There are 21 small objects reported in the last 168 hours, during which 5 were newly discovered.
Currently 927 NEAs are listed with H>22.0 by JPL and/or the Minor Planet Center (759 are listed as such by both).

[ Small Object News | Objects (by size) | Object Index (alpha/xref) | 48 Hours | Viewing | Weekly ]

Editor's note: Object listing order is by smallest size first, with size calculated using a standard but very general formula based on an object's absolute magnitude (H), or brightness. Observatory order within object listings is by earliest observation during the reporting period.
Updates to this page are flagged on A/CC's RSS news feed.
"Small" is less than roughly 135 meters in diameter, below the size theoretically considered to be "potentially hazardous." The occasional discovery and then follow-up of these asteroids represents some of the most difficult and very best observing work being done today by amateur and professional astronomers around the world.

25 Dec.: Today's DOU MPEC 2005-Y34 reports observation of six small asteroids: 2005 WK56, 2005 WG57, 2005 WP57, 2005 XA8, 2005 YD, and 2005 YK.
In New Mexico, LINEAR reported the well observed 2005 WK56, and Jornada Observatory caught 2005 YD, adding 2.918 days to what had been a 1.125-day observing arc. "Next door" in Arizona, the Spacewatch 1.8m telescope reported risk-rated 2005 WG57 and added 14.146 days to the 9.891-day arc for 2005 WP57. It also caught risk-rated 2005 XA8, which is now of out view for smaller telescopes, adding 13.937 days to its former 4.027-day observing arc. And it picked up 2005 YK, adding 2.418 days to the 0.684-day arc for this Spacewatch FMO Program discovery.
24 Dec. #2: Today's DOU MPEC 2005-Y32 reports observation from four observatories of 2005 ST4, 2005 UG, 2005 WF55, 2005 XX77, and 2005 YO3.
The Spacewatch 1.8m telescope added 36.845 days to what had been an observing arc of 52.318 days for 2005 ST4, boosted 2005 UG by 20.020 days to a 61.212-day arc (this object goes out of view for most NEO observers by Dec. 26th), and doubled 2005 WF55's arc to now 23.252 days. And 2005 XX77, which had an observation arc of less than two days, was caught on the 20th by Table Mountain Observatory in southern California and this morning by Pla D'Arguines Observatoriy in Spain, extending its arc by 12.087 days.
Great Shefford Observatory in England caught newly-discovered 2005 YO3 about three hours before it passed Earth this morning at some 8.0 lunar distances.
2005 YR3 was posted today as a impact risk.
Editor's note: It occasionally happens that the main A/CC site goes down or we can't post updated pages, such as in mid-evening on Dec. 23rd (and again on the morning of the 24th) local time. If you believe there is small object news on which A/CC should be updating but isn't, try checking the backup site here, or use the backup A/CC news frame. Note, however, that A/CC's RSS news feed is completely dependent on our primary Internet service provider.
24 Dec.#1: The discoveries by LINEAR of 2005 YO3 and 2005 YR3 have been announced within half an hour of midnight UT this morning.
23 Dec.: The discovery of 2005 YY1 was announced today, found yesterday morning by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona. JPL initially reports a rather uncertain Earth flyby at 11.7 to 13.0 or more lunar distances on Dec. 5th at 0435 UT, plus or minus 7.25 hours.
Today's DOU MPEC 2005-Y23 reports observation of small objects 2005 WK56, 2005 WG57, and 2005 YD.
22 Dec.: Today's DOU MPEC 2005-Y17 reports observation of small objects 2005 VS (19.948 days added to what had been a 28.006-day observing arc), 2005 WC2 (29.212 days added to 18.159), and 2005 WZ55 (23.086 days added to 8.022). Also 2005 XY4, adding 15.018 days to what had been a 2.004-day arc for this object, which has now gone out of view for most NEO observers. This work all came from the Spacewatch 1.8m telescope between 0649 and 0903 UT on the 21st, on both sides of midnight local time atop Kitt Peak in Arizona.
21 Dec. #2: The LONEOS and Spacewatch discoveries of small objects 2005 YD and 2005 YK were announced today. Update: FMO Project news reports that 2005 YK was discovered by volunteer Stefan Kurti of Slovakia while reviewing images online from the Spacewatch 0.9m telescope. This is his third FMOP discovery, all since August 31st of this year.
21 Dec. #1: DOU MPEC 2005-Y11 reports that Spacewatch with its 1.8m telescope doubled the observation arc for risk-rated 2005 WG57, from 10.218 to 20.990 days, and Jim Young at Table Mountain picked up 2005 XX77, adding 8.457 days to what had been a 1.636-day observing arc.
20 Dec.: Today's DOU MPEC 2005-Y10 carries observations of 2005 LD, 2005 XL4, 2005 XO66, and 2005 XZ7. Great Shefford Observatory in England added 13.761 days to what had been a 2.001-day observing arc for 2005 XL4, and caught 2005 XO66 about an hour and a half after it came to five lunar distances (LD) of Earth. Dec. 8th positions from the Spacewatch 1.8m telescope fill in a gap in the immediate follow-up of FMOP-discovery 2005 XZ7. And David Tholen's team on Mauna Kea caught 2005 LD in mid-November, 153 days after last seen in June, when it had been tracked for 32.516 days.
2005 LD was discovered by LONEOS in Arizona on 1 June 2005, as reported in MPEC 2005-L06, and is calculated by JPL to have passed Earth at 7.1 LD on June 19th.
19 Dec.: 2005 XO66 passes Earth today at 5.0 lunar distances.
Observation of one small object is reported in the 19 Dec. DOU MPEC 2005-Y05: 2005 WK56 from Peschiera del Garda Observatory in Italy.

  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 in whole days from Lowell Observatory's Orbit intersections page and
    trails MPECs by about a day. (If an object has no significant planetary MOIDs, this
    source doesn't report the object and its arc.)
