Spacewatch conducted a survey that was proposed May 12, 2006, and accepted on November 13, 2006. This survey used data taken over 34 months by the University of Arizona’s Spacewatch Project based at Steward Observatory, Kitt Peak. Spacewatch revisited the same sky area every three to seven nights in order to track cohorts of main-belt asteroids.
The following is a partial list of minor planets, running from minor-planet number 757001 through 758000, inclusive.The primary data for this and other partial lists is based on JPL's "Small-Body Orbital Elements" [1] and data available from the Minor Planet Center.
The following is a partial list of minor planets, running from minor-planet number 772001 through 773000, inclusive.The primary data for this and other partial lists is based on JPL's "Small-Body Orbital Elements" [1] and data available from the Minor Planet Center.
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for a carbonaceous body of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 14.64 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.9. [4] Other estimates, taking into account several published magnitude measurements and a large range of albedo assumptions, estimate a diameter range of 5.5 to ...
(190166) 2005 UP 156 is a stony asteroid and binary system, classified as near-Earth object of the Apollo group, approximately 1 kilometer in diameter.It was discovered on 31 October 2005, by astronomers of the Spacewatch survey at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, United States. [2]
1991 VG is a very small near-Earth object of the Apollo group, approximately 5–12 meters (16–39 feet) in diameter.It was first observed by American astronomer James Scotti on 6 November 1991, using the Spacewatch telescope on Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona, in the United States.
Three months after its discovery on 6 December 1997 by James V. Scotti of the University of Arizona's Spacewatch Project, the asteroid was predicted to make an exceptionally close approach to Earth on 28 October 2028.
