2008 Jan 07 |
+20.8 |
In field of MBA discovery 2007 XS16.
Submitted to the
MPC
on 17 Jan as a
ONS after poor weather stopped follow-up, but it was matched
with positions from Mt. Lemmon from 12 Jan and given designation
2008 AV72. This allowed faint pre-discovery images to be
identified on images from Great Shefford taken on 29 Dec for 2007 XS16
and on 19 Dec for 2007 YL2.
By 21 Jan the MPC had matched it with various one and two night
observations over 5 oppositions back to 2000. It had previously
received designations 2000 JF4
and 2006 PH11 from
observations on two nearby nights in those years, but retains 2008
AV72 as the principal
designation. |
