Observations received FROM ARPS MEMBERS
May and June 2009
Along with the monthly crop of new NEO discoveries followed
during April, several other interesting objects were also observed:
2009 DP2 was added to the NEO Confirmation page as a
slow moving (0.36"/min) 19th mag object on April 3rd, unusual in that it
had already been given a provisional designation by the Minor Planet Center
(MPC) some 6 weeks earlier (the D of DP2 indicating it had been designated in
the fourth half-month of the year). The MPC had matched the discovery
observations from Feb 17 & 20th by the amateur run Observatoire
Chante-Perdrix (50 miles north of
Another even slower moving NEOCP object, 2009 HH36
also ended up being classified as a Centaur, discovered on April 19th with the
0.9-m telescope of the Steward Observatory on Kitt Peak. A nearby faint field
star caused me a few problems when I first observed it on the morning of April
20th. With 2009 HH36 moving at only 0.17"/min it would take an hour to move just 10" and
so the star was never far away but by the next night it had moved into clear
sky and was much more easily seen.
With observations identified back to March 31 and
extending to May 5th the orbit is now given with a period of 45 years and
perihelion distance of 7 AU. Aphelion at 18.5 AU is at the distance of Uranus,
though again it does not get particularly close to Uranus, but can approach
Saturn to about 1 AU. It is currently about 9.5 AU from the Sun and due at
perihelion in four years time.
In the images taken for 2009 HH36 on April 20th,
another unusually slow moving object (0.30"/min) was seen nearby at about
mag +20 and a check of the MPC's Minor Planet Checker web page did not reveal
any previously known minor planet candidates in the vicinity. The next night,
when following up 2009 HH36, this other object was searched for and found close
to its extrapolated position.
I sent off the two nights of observations to the
Minor Planet Center, hoping to be assigned discovery credit for a possibly
unusual new object, only to find out that it had already been given as a
discovery (not surprisingly!) to the Steward Observatory discoverers of 2009
HH36 and had been assigned the designation 2009 HU11. It turned out to be a
Jupiter Trojan, fortuitously within just a few arc minutes of the even more
distant 2009 HH36 at discovery.

Using
ARPS/Schools project) and was one of 3 observatories
contributing astrometric
positions which yielded two MP Electronic Circulars
announcing orbits of the
two latest
NEOs, 2009 JL1 and 2009 JM1. For the
last object, it turned out
that Rob MacNaught, using the 0.5-m Schmidt at
Siding Spring about 30 SECONDS
before me, imaged and measured the SAME object. It is reassuring to find that
his positions and magnitudes agreed with those I
measured. I also checked the
photometry with AstPhot32 and found the object was
not varying in brightness
between successive images.

I shall have to get more ARPS members mobilised to
do similarly in the near
future. I've
got other jobs to do as well as unplanned observing sessions
like this one!

Images
I don't think the non-circular
shape shown is real. It would be the result of seeing combined with the
relatively small number of frames stacked (330 frames at 2.8 fps.) I should
have taken comparison images of nearby stars on the same night, but it clouded
over. I did feel however that I was imaging a body which was clearly not a
starlike point. Through the eyepiece it gave the impression of a dull,
brownish, fuzzy, minute disk shaded off at the edges, a bit like some small
planetary nebulae appear, but a different colour. Again, it looked like a dull
disk in the way

Report submitted to Gilles Regheere and
PLANOCCULT only.
Positive not expected here - site inside
south 2 sigma zone.
Observation difficult to analyse due to
significant noise and small
expected magnitude drop (0.24 mag = drop to
0.8 x combined ADU). Using
Limovie, and several different aperture
sizes, there was no drop to the
expected ADU for more than 4 frames (0.16
sec) in the minute centred on
the central expected time, or 8 frames (0.32
sec) in the whole 4 minutes
recording.
Best Regards:
Date: 2009 May 25
(Rev. Jan 09)
The small magnitude drop and
high noise from the Watec 902H made it difficult to
analyse. This
needed the whole Limovie 'learning curve' to be
re-traversed, and PC
problems to be surmounted!

Report submitted to Gilles Regheere and

Site just outside 1 Sigma N track.
Recording scrutinised on high quality
monochrome
(analogue) brightness/contrast. The star was only just visible on the
monitor.
It was not possible to improve visualisation with VirtualDub
and Limovie.

The target 2UCAC star (Mv 12.5, Mr 11.8), at 18º
elevation, sun
elevation -14º, was too faint to be distinguished on
the Watec 902H.
So I had to make a quick change to the Watec 120N,
which I have not
used much for occultations yet. Although the star was visible on the
Photometry
Asteroid (01909) was imaged as
part of the Magnitude Alert Program. Its absolute magnitude was determined to
be 12.9 showing that the current values of 12.3 (MPC, JPL) and 12.6 (AstDys)
are in error.
Absolute magnitude was
determined using the H/G utility in
COM Photometry uses
COM transformed to V using formula
COM V = 0.628*(J-K) + 0.995*r'

Lightcurves of two objects observed today with the
Faulkes Telescope North (
comparison stars.
Both objects are unusual:
2009 HC82 is a very rare case of an asteroid in a
retrograde orbit rather
akin to a dead comet. With an absolute magnitude, H=16.2, it is
rather
similar in size to a Jupiter-family comet at about
2-4 km across. A stacked
image (attached) in subarcsecond seeing shows no
evidence of a coma. From
the lightcurve, it appears to be a slow rotator.
2009 JG2 has just been announced this afternoon in
MPEC 2009-J51.
Fortunately, today's astrometry has been linked to
other observations made
about two weeks ago, and these indicate an MOID
(minimum orbital
intersection distance) of 0.00013 AU and so this
puts it in the "virtual
impactor" category. It too is a relatively slow rotator with P
> 5 hr. It
is currently approaching the Earth reaching 17th
magnitude and will be
closest on May 19/20 at 0.030 AU after which time it
will be at too low a
solar elongation to be readily observable. With an absolute magnitude of H
= 22.6, it is about 150 meters across.
36 images were taken with the
observations have been reported to the Minor Planet
Center.
If, as a section member, you would like to
participate in physical
observations of this kind, please let me know. Thanks.

A note reporting photometry of 2009 HU44
[a=0.83,e=0.64,i=6.6,H=22.7]
from Faulkes South (E10) images taken yesterday.
This object does not appear to be a fast rotator,
which is not surprising
given its H mag is indicative of a 100-200 meter
size object.

The second series has been adjusted in magnitude to
equal the first series
(on average) owing to the lack of overlap between
fields.
