Earth's Busy Neighborhood
ACC's Small Object Report for 19-25 February 2007
A semi-automated report compiled on 25 February 2007 at 2359 UTC
There were 27 small asteroids* reported in the last 168 hours, during which eleven were newly discovered.
*Two not-quite small asteroids are also included in this week's reporting.
Currently 1,254 NEAs are listed with H>22.0 by JPL and/or the MPC (1,072 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.

- Feb. 25: On Sunday the Daily Orbit Update (DOU) MPEC 2007-D69 reports observations of four small asteroids. Mt. John Observatory provided the first follow-up for 2007 DJ8, observing it twice yesterday to add about two days to its one-day observing arc. David Tholen's team on Mauna Kea in Hawaii reported 2007 CS5, which today was delisted as an impact risk. The Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona was used to track risk-listed 2007 CT26. And LINEAR in New Mexico kept after 2007 DD.
- Feb. 24: Saturday's DOU MPEC 2007-D66 reports astrometry for seven small asteroids. Prediscovery observations of risk-listed intruder 2007 DN41 came from LINEAR in New Mexico from February 22nd and 23rd, catching this object about 22 hours after passing its closest point to Earth. Desert Moon Observatory in New Mexico provided the first follow-up for 2007 DQ40. The Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona tracked risk-listed 2007 CT26. And observations coded to Tim Spahr via Whipple Observatory in Arizona added about 15 days to what had been 2007 BS2's 22-day observing arc, added six days to 2007 CB27's four-day arc, doubled 2007 DS7's arc to about two days, and, with the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, added a day to 2007 DJ's former five-day arc.
- Feb. 23 #3: Chalk up two more small asteroid discoveries for the day, both discovered this morning by the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona. 2007 DL41 was confirmed only by its discoverer and announced with an arc of four and a half hours. 2007 DN41 is an intruder that JPL reports passed about 0.8 lunar distance from Earth two days ago. Its discovery was confirmed by Robert Hutsebaut in Belgium observing from RAS Observatory in New Mexico, the Lulin Sky Survey in Taiwan, and Mt. John Observatory in New Zealand. Update: 2007 DN41 has been listed as an impact risk.
- Feb. 23 #2: There is a second small-asteroid discovery announcement on Friday, for 2007 DX40, discovered from Arizona by the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) two mornings ago and confirmed by the same this morning. JPL reports that this object will pass Earth at about 7.7 lunar distances on March 4th. Update: 2007 DX40 has been listed as an impact risk, and Lowell Observatory reports that this object comes close to Venus and Mars as well as Earth.
DOU MPEC 2007-D45 today reports observations of seven small asteroids. Spacewatch used its 0.9-meter telescope to provide the first follow-up for risk-listed 2007 DC, which went out of view today for most NEO observers, and also to observe 2007 DX and 2007 DD. This last object was also reported from New Mexico from LINEAR and Desert Moon Observatory. Desert Moon and Petit Jean Mountain South Observatory in Arkansas added about three days to 2007 DJ's two-day observing arc. The MLS added about five days to what had been risk-listed 2007 CS5's ten-day arc. And 2007 DA was reported from the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona and 2007 DE8 from Antares Observatory in Illinois within that object's discovery arc.
- Feb. 23 #1: Very early on Friday discovery of one small asteroid has been announced. 2007 DQ40 was discovered from Arizona by the Catalina Sky Survey Thursday morning and confirmed soon by Robert Hutsebaut in Belgium observing from RAS Observatory in New Mexico and in the evening by Schiaparelli and Naef observatories in Italy and Switzerland. JPL reports that this object passed Earth at 9.7 lunar distances on February 12th, and Lowell Observatory reports that it also comes close to Venus and Mars.
- Feb. 22: On Thursday the discovery of five small asteroids have been announced, all discovered yesterday morning. The Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) in Arizona was first to spot 2007 DE8, 2007 DH8, and 2007 DM8. The Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona found 2007 DG8. And LINEAR in Massachusetts observing from New Mexico caught 2007 DJ8. Of these, only two are coming near ten lunar distances (LD) from Earth according to JPL's first calculations -- 2007 DG8 at 9.8 LD on March 1st and 2007 DM8 at 10.3 LD one week ago today. Lowell Observatory reports that those two also play tag with neighboring planets -- 2007 DG8 with Mars and 2007 DM8 with Venus.
KLENOT in the Czech Republic provided the earliest confirmation observations for four of the objects, and Farpoint Observatory in Kansas and the MLS also confirmed different sets of four from the five discoveries. Sabino Canyon Observatory in Arizona participated with three, and Desert Moon Observatory in New Mexico and the Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope in Arizona each made one confirmation.
Today's DOU MPEC 2007-D32 reports observations of twelve small asteroids. Mt. John Observatory in New Zealand added about 53 days to 2006 YD12's seven-day observing arc, and 25 days to what had been 2006 YH14's 31-day arc. KLENOT reported risk-listed 2007 CC27, which is calculated to have gone out of view today for most NEO observers. And Drebach Observatory in Germany tacked five minutes onto the discovery arc of risk listed 2007 DS7. The MLS and Spacewatch 1.8-meter telescope provided the first follow-up for 2007 DX. MLS also tracked 2007 CL26 and 2007 CM26, and doubled 2007 DD's arc to about four days. And the Spacewatch 1.8-meter observed risk-listed 2007 CT26, as did Petit Jean Mountain South Observatory in Arkansas. Petit Jean also followed 2007 DA along with Desert Moon Observatory, which alone reported 2007 CQ5 and 2007 CX50.
In the category of almost-small asteroids, the DOU reports observation of
2007 CH15 from the MLS, adding about four days to that object's previous nine-day arc.
- Feb. 21 #2: Discovery of small asteroid 2007 DS7 has been announced today, found this morning by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, which observed it during two periods, and confirmed this evening by Andrushivka Observatory in the Ukraine and KLENOT in the Czech Republic. JPL reports that this object passed Earth at about 1.8 lunar distances three days ago. Update: 2007 DS7 has been listed as an impact risk.
- Feb. 21 #1: Wednesday's DOU MPEC 2007-D28 reports observation of one small asteroid. Naef Observatory in Switzerland added about three days to what had been 2007 CQ5's ten-day observing arc.
- Feb. 20: On Tuesday there is an announcement of the discovery of a relatively distant small asteroid, 2007 DX, which JPL calculates comes no closer to Earth than 82 lunar distances. It was discovered with the Spacewatch 0.9m telescope in Arizona Saturday morning and was confirmed Sunday morning by Farpoint Observatory in Kansas and yesterday morning by the Mt. Lemmon Survey (MLS) in Arizona.
Today's DOU MPEC 2007-D23 reports observations of four small asteroids. Red Barn Observatory in Georgia tracked risk-listed 2007 CT26 and the MLS followed risk-listed 2007 CC27, which is calculated to go out of view for most NEO observers in the next couple days and for larger telescope another week or so later. And Mt. John Observatory in New Zealand added a second day to 2007 DJ's observing arc. Also in the DOU is smallish 2006 UQ17, reported from LONEOS in Arizona and Naef Observatory in Switzerland.
- Feb. 19: Monday's DOU MPEC 2007-D21 reports observations of five small asteroids. 2007 DD, which was delisted today as an impact risk, was observed by LINEAR in New Mexico, by Petit Jean Mountain South and Farpoint observatories in Arkansas and Kansas, and by KLENOT in the Czech Republic. Farpoint also reported risk-listed 2007 CC27, and KLENOT along with Guidestar and Drebach observatories in Germany tracked risk-listed 2007 CT26. And 2007 DJ was reported from McDonald and Mt. John observatories in Texas and New Zealand and 2007 CJ15 from the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona.

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.
