Шаблон:Mp is a sub-kilometer near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Aten group, approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter. It was discovered on 17 September 2006, by the Catalina Sky Survey at Catalina Station in Arizona. On 21 November 2019, it passed Earth at a distance of Шаблон:Convert, which is the object's closest flyby for centuries. The stony A/S-type asteroid is highly elongated in shape and has a rotation period of 11.5 hours.

Orbit and classification

Шаблон:Mp orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.7–1.2 AU once every 11 months (338 days; semi-major axis of 0.95 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.28 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Catalina Station in September 2006.

Close approaches

Being a potentially hazardous asteroid, Шаблон:Mp has an Earth minimum orbital intersection distance (MOID) of Шаблон:Convert which corresponds to 7.4 lunar distances. In order to be classified as "potentially hazardous" an object must have an Earth-MOID of less than Шаблон:Convert – approximately 19.5 lunar distances – and an absolute magnitude brighter than 22, approximately corresponding to a diameter above Шаблон:Convert.

On 21 November 2019 at 00:01 UTC, it passed Earth at a nominal distance (measured from the center of the Earth) of Шаблон:Convert and at a relative velocity of Шаблон:Val. This is the object's closest flyby in JPL's data base, which covers 183 approaches over almost three centuries from April 1900 to November 2198.

On 19 November 2069, it will pass Шаблон:Convert from Earth, which will be the asteroid's second closest approach after its record flyby on 21 November 2019.

Numbering and naming

This minor planet was numbered by the Minor Planet Center on 12 January 2017 (Шаблон:Small). As of 2020 it has not been named.

Physical characteristics

During its apparition in November 2007, spectro-photometric data obtained of Шаблон:Mp allowed for an A/S/D-type classification. This classification could be further constrained to an A/S-type, as a D-type does not agree with the object's relatively high albedo value (see below).Шаблон:Rp

Rotation period

In September 2018, a rotational lightcurve of Шаблон:Mp was obtained from photometric observations by Brian Warner and Robert Stephens at the Center for Solar System Studies in California. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of Шаблон:Val hours with a very high brightness amplitude of Шаблон:Val magnitude (Шаблон:Small), indicative of a highly elongated non-spherical shape. The two photometrists revisited the object in October 2019 and obtained a similar result of Шаблон:Val hours with an even higher magnitude of Шаблон:Val (Шаблон:Small).

Diameter and albedo

According to the NEOSurvey carried out by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, the asteroid's surface has an albedo of Шаблон:Val, which gives a mean-diameter of roughly 300 meters based on an absolute magnitude of 19.9. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.20 and a diameter of 0.311 kilometers using an absolute magnitude of 19.9 as well.
