Earth's Busy Neighborhood
ACC's Small Object Report for 23-29 January 2006
A semi-automated report compiled on 29 January 2006 at 2359 UTC
There are 35* small objects reported in the last 168 hours, during which 26 were newly discovered.
*Two other objects with absolute magnitude just above H=22.0 are also included in this week's report.
Currently 977 NEAs are listed with H>22.0 by JPL and/or the Minor Planet Center (799 are listed as such by both).

Editor's note: "Small" is defined by an asteroid having an absolute
magnitude (brightness) calculated at greater than H=22.0, which equates very
roughly to 135
meters in diameter. Larger H means lesser size and the astronomical community
does not classify such objects as "potentially hazardous" no matter how close
they may come to the Earth. 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, some asteroids too small to be labeled potentially hazardous could
still cause severe local damage. These are sometimes called "Tunguska-class
objects" (TCOs), after the 1908 event that was probably caused by a comet
remnant 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 recently changed its main Risk page to qualify "Objects too
small to result in heavy damage on the ground" as having "absolute magnitude
> 25," which roughly corresponds to 35 meters wide. And JPL in October
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."
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 current successes.

- Jan. 29: 2006 BF56 was listed today as an impact impact risk, and 2006 BV39 was delisted. DOU MPEC 2006-B80 for yesterday and today reports observations of those two plus 13 other small asteroids:
2005 VT2,
2006 AM4,
2006 AW44,
2006 BA,
2006 BA9,
2006 BB9,
2006 BC8,

2006 BF55,
2006 BL8,
2006 BM55,
2006 BO6, and
2006 BW39.
- Jan. 28 #2: Late today the Minor Planet Center announced the discovery of tiny 2006 BF56, which JPL is reporting will fly through the Earth-Moon system, coming to 0.5 lunar distance from Earth at 1032 UT on the 29th. It was found at 0722 this morning by the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona, which observed it again four hours later, and was confirmed this evening by Great Shefford Observatory in England and KLENOT in the Czech Republic. Tomorrow, around 31 hours after discovery and 15-16 hours after the announcement, 2006 BF56 will go well out of sight.
- Jan. 28 #1: There will be no DOU MPEC today, but there's still small-asteroid news, with discovery announcements for five more:
2006 BD55,
2006 BF55,
2006 BJ55,
2006 BL55, and
2006 BM55.
- Jan. 27: Friday's DOU MPEC 2006-B65 reports observation of seven small asteroids:
2005 XY4,
2005 YU55,
2006 BA9,
2006 BC8,
2006 BW39,
2006 BX26, and
2006 BY7.
- Jan. 26 #3: Thursday the 26th closed out with announcements of two more small-asteroid discoveries: 2006 BV39 and 2006 BW39. Tiny 2006 BV39 is an intruder calculated to fly past Earth at a bit less than one lunar distance in two days and then go out of view. It has been posted as a very low-rated impact risk.
- Jan. 26 #2: The day continues with the discovery announcement of small object 2006 BX26, with 2006 BY8 being removed as an impact risk, and with today's DOU MPEC 2006-B59 reporting observations of eleven small objects:
2005 YR3,
2006 AC3,
2006 AK4,
2006 BA9,
2006 BB8,
2006 BB9,
2006 BC8,
2006 BL8,
2006 BM8,
2006 BY7, and
2006 BY8.
- Jan. 26 #1: Early today UT another small asteroid, 2006 BN26, joined this week's discovery announcements.
- Jan. 25 #2: Newly discovered small objects 2006 BY8 and 2006 BB9 have been posted as impact risks.
Observations are reported in today's DOU MPEC 2006-B55 of nine small asteroids:
2005 YR3,
2006 AF4,
2006 AM4,
2006 BF,
2006 BL8,
2006 BM8,
2006 BO6,
2006 BP7, and
2006 BX7.
- Jan. 25 #1: Early on the 25th UT, 2006 BM8 has been posted as a impact risk, and three small-object discoveries have been announced: 2006 BA9, 2006 BB9, and 2006 BY8.
- Jan. 24 #4: 2006 BY7 has been posted with impact solutions, and two more small-object discoveries have been announced (13 total today out of 20 asteroid announcements): 2006-B49 2006 BL8 and 2006 BM8.
- Jan. 24 #3: 2006 BC8 has been posted as a impact risk.
- Jan. 24 #2: 2006 BO7 has been posted as a impact risk.
Discovery of another seven small objects is reported today:
2006 BA8,
2006 BB8,
2006 BC8,
2006 BU7,
2006 BW7,
2006 BX7, and
2006 BY7. Five of them flew past Earth between Jan. 9th and 22nd at 2.1 to 15.8 lunar distances.
Today's DOU MPEC 2006-B36 reports observation of two small objects. The Spacewatch 1.8m telescope in Arizona caught 2005 YU55, which is only visible for larger telescopes, and San Marcello Pistoiese Obs. in Italy tracked 2006 BF.
- Jan. 24 #1: Early on the 24th comes announcement of the Mt. Lemmon Survey's discovery of two small objects on the morning of Jan. 22nd. -- 2006 BO6 and 2006 BO7. The second was confirmed by the MLS itself the next morning, and this morning by Great Shefford Observatory in England. It will fly out of view in two days after flying past Earth, JPL reports, at about 1.9 lunar distances (LD) tomorrow. 2006 B06 was quickly confirmed the same morning by Sabino Canyon Observatory in Arizona and Table Mountain Observatory in southern California, and that evening by Great Shefford. The next morning it was further confirmed by the MLS and by Farpoint Observatory in Kansas, which also caught it this morning. And Gnosca Observatory in Switzerland and KLENOT in the in the Czech Republic reported it from last night.
After those two announcements came two more discoveries from the morning of the 22nd -- 2006 BP7 by LINEAR from its facility in New Mexico, and another 2006 BQ7 by MLS. The Catalina Sky Survey, "down the hill" from sibling MLS, caught 2006 BP7 less than half an hour after LINEAR, and it was confirmed that evening by Herrenberg and Guidestar observatories in Germany, and early today by Powell Observatory in Kansas and Great Shefford Observatory. With 2006 BQ7, the MLS itself the next morning was first to confirm the discovery, followed by KLENOT last night and Great Shefford this morning. This object is reported by JPL to have flown past Earth at 11.0 LD on Jan. 13th, and 2006 BP7 at 27.0 LD on the 8th.
- Jan. 23: DOU MPEC 2006-B24 today reports observations of five small objects, all recent discoveries: 2006 AK4, 2006 AM4, 2006 AP3, 2006 AT3, and 2006 BF. The Spacewatch 1.8m telescope in Arizona added 11.840 days to the 2.979-day observing arc for 2006 AK4, and 10.373 days to 2006 AT3's 4.761-day arc. Both objects were discovered with Spacewatch's 0.9m telescope on the morning of Jan. 7th, one by an FMO Project online volunteer. 2006 AP3 was tracked by UKAPP in Northern Ireland using the Faulkes Telescope North in Hawaii, and 2006 AM4 by Buchloe Observatory in Germany. And LINEAR in Massachusetts used its facility in New Mexico to provide the first follow-up for its discovery, 2006 BF.

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.
