Шаблон:Mp, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is a stony, sub-kilometer sized asteroid and fast rotator, classified as a near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group. It had been one of the objects with the highest impact threat on the Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale.

Discovery

It was discovered on 24 January 2011, by a team of astronomers at Pan-STARRS, the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System at Haleakala Observatory on Hawaii, United States. The discovery was made using a 1.8-meter Ritchey–Chrétien telescope. At the time of discovery, the object had an apparent magnitude of 22.

Orbit

Before the 2013 recovery it had an observation arc of 41 days with an uncertainty parameter of 7. Due to precovery images from 2007 it now has an observation arc of more than 5 years. It makes close approaches to Earth and Mars.

On 28 December 2013, it passed Шаблон:Convert from Earth. The December 2013 passage was studied by the Goldstone Deep Space Network and further refined the orbit.

Impact risk

While listed on the Sentry Risk Table, virtual clones of the asteroid that fit the uncertainty region in the known trajectory showed a 1 in 71,000 chance that the asteroid could impact Earth on 5 January 2080.

In 2013 it had the 5th highest impact threat on the Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale. It was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 17 June 2013.

With a 2080 Palermo Technical Scale of −3.58, the odds of impact by Шаблон:Mp in 2080 were about 3800 times less than the background hazard level of Earth impacts which is defined as the average risk posed by objects of the same size or larger over the years until the date of the potential impact. JPL Horizons shows that the nominal pass will be on 17 January 2080 at a distance of Шаблон:Convert from Earth.

Physical characteristics

This near-Earth object is characterized as a common, stony S-type asteroid by the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL).

Fast rotator

In January 2014, a rotational lightcurve of Шаблон:Mp was obtained from photometric observations by American astronomer Brian Warner at the CS3-Palmer Divide Station (Шаблон:Small) in California. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 0.109138 hours (393 seconds) with a brightness amplitude of 0.61 magnitude (Шаблон:Small).

Diameter and albedo

According to the CALL and JPL's impact-risk table, this near-Earth object measures 136 and 150 meters, respectively. For its size estimate, CALL uses a standard for stony asteroids of 0.20 with an absolute magnitude of 21.7.

Naming

As of 2017, this minor planet remains unnamed.
