Earth's Busy Neighborhood
ACC's Small Object Report for 20-26 November 2006
A semi-automated report compiled on 26 November 2006 at 2359 UTC
Twenty-eight small asteroids* reported in the last 168 hours, during which 17 were newly discovered.
*Also in this week's report are two objects newly reclassified as not quite small.
Currently 1,177 NEAs are listed with H>22.0 by JPL and/or the MPC (994 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.

- Nov. 26 #2: 2006 WZ29, the discovery of which was announced earlier today, has now been listed as an impact risk. The Sunday Daily Orbit Update (DOU) MPEC 2006-W93 reports observations of five small asteroids. Great Shefford Observatory in England provided the first follow up for risk-listed 2006 WV29, which passed Earth earlier today at 3.7 lunar distances and will quickly go out of view for ground-based optical telescopes. Spacewatch with its 1.8-meter telescope and Hibiscus Observatory in Tahiti provided the first follow-up for 2006 WM3, which today was delisted as an impact risk. Risk-listed 2006 WB was tracked by LINEAR in New Mexico and by Hibiscus. The Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona observed 2006 VY2. And Antares Observatory in Illinois reported 2006 WS29 from within its discovery arc.
- Nov. 26 #1: Early on Sunday discoveries of five small asteroids have been announced, all from Arizona. Three were discovered by the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS), including 2006 WA30, first noticed on November 24th but also found in observations from the 20th. MLS discovered 2006 WZ29 on the 23rd and 2006 WB30 the next day.
Intruder 2006 WX29 was discovered November 23rd with the Spacewatch 0.9-meter telescope and was quickly confirmed by Farpoint Observatory in Kansas and during the next two mornings by the Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope. JPL reports that this object passed Earth at about 0.9 lunar distance on November 20th. It has already gone out of view for most NEO observers and isn't lingering long for larger telescopes.
2006 WC30, which has been listed as an impact risk, was discovered on the 24th by the Catalina Sky Survey. Great Shefford Observatory in England confirmed 2006 WA30, WB30, and WC30. CEAMIG-REA in Brazil confirmed 2006 WC30. And the Spacewatch 1.8-meter along with MLS to confirm 2006 WZ29.
- Nov. 25: Saturday's DOU MPEC 2006-W86 reports observations of three small asteroids. Spacewatch in Arizona used its 1.8-meter telescope to add about two days to the one-day observing arc of risk-listed 2006 WY3. Today it was delisted as an impact risk and tomorrow it goes out of view for most NEO observers (but remains in view for larger telescopes for another month). Hibiscus Observatory in Tahiti, from November 22nd, provided the first follow-up for little-observed 2006 WP3. And the Catalina Sky Survey added about five days to what had been an eight-day arc for 2006 VY2.
- Nov. 24 #2: Discoveries of three small asteroids have been announced. Two were found two mornings ago and confirmed yesterday and this morning -- 2006 WR29 from New Mexico by LINEAR and 2006 WS29 from Arizona by the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS). And 2006 WV29, which was found yesterday morning by MLS, is calculated to go out of view next Monday. Update: 2006 WV29 has been listed as an impact risk.
- Nov. 24 #1: Friday DOU MPEC 2006-W68 reports observations of four small asteroids. The Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona added about four days to what had been a five-day observing arc for 2006 VP13. Risk-listed 2006 WB was observed by Greiner Research Observatory in in Wisconsin. And
2006 UA216 was tracked by Petit Jean Mountain South Observatory in Arkansas and
2006 UP by 7300 Observatory in New Mexico.
- Nov. 23: On Thursday, DOU MPEC 2006-W66 reports observations of seven small asteroids. Spacewatch used its 0.9-meter telescope in Arizona to add several days to the month-long observing arcs of 2006 UN and 2006 UP. Hibiscus Observatory in Tahiti doubled 2006 WX's arc to about four days. The Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona tracked risk-listed 2006 WB. LINEAR in New Mexico reported 2006 WX3 from within its discovery arc and the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona added a few hours to risk-listed 2006 WY3's discovery arc.
In yesterday's DOU, Great Shefford Observatory in England provided five astrometric positions spanning five minutes at the end of now-departed intruder 2006 WV's four-day observing arc. Today Great Shefford helped fill in some of that arc with another dozen positions taken immediately beforehand that span 1.63 hours. Update: Today 2006 WV has been relisted as an impact risk.
- Nov. 22 #2: Discovery of two more small asteroids have been announced. Both were found yesterday morning UT in Arizona -- 2006 WY3 by the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) and now listed as an impact risk, and relatively distant 2006 WX3 by Spacewatch with its 0.9-meter telescope.
DOU MPEC 2006-W55 reports observations of six other small asteroids. Risk-listed intruder 2006 WV, which went out of view today, is reported from Powell and Great Shefford observatories in Kansas and England, adding 4.72 hours to its 3.749-day observing arc. Today this object was delisted as an impact risk.
1998 HG49 was reported again today, this time by MLS, and, from all the data now collected, the MPC has joined JPL and NEODyS in calculating this object's absolute magnitude to be outside the definition of a small asteroid.
The Spacewatch 0.9-meter telescope added about 20 days to 2006 UN's eleven-day observing arc. McDonald and Desert Moon observatories in Texas and New Mexico extended 2006 UC185's former seventeen-day arc by about seven days. Great Shefford provided the first follow-up for 2006 WA3, which was delisted today as an impact risk. And Jim Young at Table Mountain Observatory in southern California and Desert Moon tracked risk-listed 2006 WB.
- Nov. 22 #1: Wednesday UT has begun with the announcement of two small asteroids. 2006 WM3 was discovered on November 20th with the Spacewatch 0.9-meter telescope in Arizona and confirmed with six other U.S. telescopes, mostly during the morning of the 21st. 2006 WP3, on the other hand, was discovered by the Siding Spring Survey in Australia, which found and kept after it for about an hour on the 20th and alone confirmed it once on the 21st. Update: 2006 WM3 has been listed as an impact risk.
- Nov. 21 #2: Discoveries of two small asteroids have been announced. 2006 WA3 was discovered last Saturday morning by the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) in Arizona which picked it up again the next morning and then, along with the Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona and Farpoint Observatory in Kansas, finished confirming it this morning. Update: 2006 WA3 has been listed as a very low-rated impact risk.
2006 WB3 was found Sunday morning by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona which confirmed it for the next two mornings along with Great Shefford Observatory in England last night and MLS this morning.
- Nov. 21 #1, updated Nov. 22: Tuesday DOU MPEC 2006-W43 reports observations of six small asteroids. Working from New Mexico, LINEAR in Massachusetts from the 18th and Robert Hutsebaut in Belgium yesterday morning tracked risk-listed intruder 2006 WV along with Great Shefford Observatory in England from last night and this morning. Together they added 1.682 days to this fleeting object's former 2.067-day observation arc.
For the first time since early June, observations of small asteroids are reported from the Faulkes Telescope North in Hawaii, credited in this case to its education program. The facility was used to add fifteen days to 2006 UA216's seven-day observing arc and to follow 2006 WX, which today was delisted as an impact risk.
McDonald Observatory in Texas added about ten days to what had been a 46-day observing arc for 2006 SP198, which is now calculated to have an absolute magnitude (brightness) outside the line that defines small asteroids.
The Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona added about nine days to the already lengthy (118.5 days) but sparse astrometric trail for 1998 HG49 on its third opposition. And 2006 WV1 was observed by Mt. John Observatory in New Zealand.
Departing intruder 2006 WP1 was listed today as an impact risk.
- Nov. 20 #2: Discoveries of three small asteroids have been announced. 2006 WP1 is an intruder that was first caught three mornings ago UT by the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) in Arizona after already passing through the Earth-Moon system at about 0.8 lunar distance from Earth two days earlier. Its discovery was confirmed by the MLS on the 18th and yesterday morning again by the MLS along with Great Shefford Observatory in England and Spacewatch in Arizona using its 1.8-meter telescope. 2006 WP1 is calculated to go out of view overnight for most NEO observers and for larger telescopes over the next two weeks.
2006 WU1 was discovered yesterday morning by the MLS, which confirmed it this morning along with the Spacewatch 1.8-meter. And the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona found 2006 WV1 yesterday morning, a discovery confirmed this morning by Farpoint and Sandlot observatories in Kansas, Sabino Canyon Observatory in Arizona, and the MLS.
- Nov. 20 #1: Monday's DOU MPEC 2006-W30 reports observations of seven small asteroids. LINEAR and Desert Moon Observatory in New Mexico and the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona added more than seven hours to bring the observing arc past 48 hours for risk-listed intruder 2006 WV, which passes Earth tomorrow at less than one lunar distance and goes right out of view. McDonald and Mt. John observatories in Texas and New Zealand provided the first follow-up for 2006 WB, adding two days to its one-day discovery arc. McDonald also tracked 2006 UF. Schiaparelli Observatory in Italy and the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) in Arizona doubled the observing arc for 2006 VB45 to about four days and kept watch on 2006 VY2. CSS also stretched risk-listed 2006 WX's arc past 24 hours and Schiaparelli followed 2006 VP13.

1998 HG49 2006-12-24 0.076417 141 21.90 3op - (22 Nov.)
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.
