Earth's Busy Neighborhood
ACC's Small Object Report for 22-28 May 2006
A semi-automated report compiled on 28 May 2006 at 2359 UTC
There are 14 small asteroids reported in the last 168 hours, during which six were newly discovered.
Currently 1,057 NEAs are listed with H>22.0 by JPL and/or the MPC (877 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.

- Week in Review: This past week six small asteroid discoveries were announced, with four from the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) in Arizona and two from LINEAR in Massachusetts using its New Mexico facility. Observations of another five small asteroids were reported, plus one from early in the month. The week's work was carried out by 15 observing facilities, led by the Mt. Lemmon Survey with its four discoveries and four other small objects tracked. This included adding about 24 days to what had been a 31-day observing arc for 2006 FH36 and 21 days to 2005 YA37's former 128-day observing arc. The Spacewatch 1.8m telescope reported five small asteroids, one of which, 2006 JP, was taken from a single-day arc to 22 days.
- May 28: The Sunday Daily Orbit Update (DOU) MPEC 2006-K64 carries observations of four small asteroids. Andrushivka Observatory in the Ukraine reported 2006 HX57 from May 2nd along with 2006 KB1 and 2006 KC from 22-23 May. And further observation was reported of LINEAR discovery 2006 KY67 from LINEAR. This last object was posted today as an impact risk, as was 2006 KC40. Both had discovery announcements yesterday.
- May 27 #2: Discoveries of two small asteroids have been announced today: 2006 KC40, found by the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona two mornings ago, and 2006 KY67, found by LINEAR from its New Mexico facility yesterday morning.
- May 27 #1: On Saturday observations of five small asteroids are reported in DOU MPEC 2006-K56:
2006 JT41,
2006 KB1,
2006 KC,
2006 KP21, and
2006 KS38.
- May 26: Discovery of small asteroid 2006 KS38 was announced today. It was found by LINEAR in Massachusetts from its New Mexico facility on the morning of May 23rd about eleven hours before passing Earth at less than ten lunar distances.
Friday's DOU MPEC 2006-K44 carries observations of five small asteroids:
2006 FH36,
2006 HZ5,
2006 JT41,
2006 KP21, and
2006 KS1.
2006 KP21 was delisted today as an impact risk.
- May 25: Thursday DOU MPEC 2006-K42 carries observations of five small asteroids:
2005 YA37,
2006 JT41,
2006 KC,
2006 KQ1, and
2006 KS1.
- May 24: Discovery of one small asteroid is reported today, 2006 KP21. It was found yesterday morning by the Mt. Lemmon Survey, which confirmed it this morning along with the Spacewatch 1.8m telescope, and it will go out of view for many NEO observers almost immediately. Update: 2006 KP21 has been posted as an impact risk.
Observations of five small asteroids are reported in Wednesday's DOU MPEC 2006-K36. The Spacewatch 1.8m telescope provided the first follow up for 2006 JP since this object's May 3rd discovery announcement. And it and UKAPP with the Faulkes North Telescope observed 2006 KQ1, which has now been delisted as an impact risk. Also tracked were 2006 JT41, 2006 KB1, and 2006 KC.
- May 23: Observations of three small asteroids are reported in Tuesday's DOU MPEC 2006-K31:
2006 KB1,
2006 KC, and
2006 KS1.
- May 22: Discoveries of two small asteroids have been announced today. 2006 KQ1 and 2006 KS1 were both discovered and solely confirmed by the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona. Update: 2006 KQ1 has been posted as an impact risk.
No observations of small asteroids are reported in the Monday DOU MPEC.

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.
