Шаблон:Mp is an asteroid, slow rotator and tumbler, classified as a near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) of the Apollo group, approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter, making it the largest PHA known to exist. It was discovered on 13 May 1999, by astronomers of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico.

Orbit and classification

Шаблон:Mp orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.0–4.5 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,644 days; semi-major axis of 2.73 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.64 and an inclination of 14° with respect to the ecliptic. This makes it also a Mars-crossing asteroid.

The body's observation arc begins with its first identification as Шаблон:Mp at Palomar Observatory in April 1990, more than 9 years prior to its official discovery observation at Socorro.

Close approaches

Шаблон:Mp has an Earth minimum orbital intersection distance of Шаблон:Convert It passed closer than 0.20 AU to the Earth five times in the last century (0.033 AU in 1990), but its next closest approach in the 21st century will be in 2075 at Шаблон:Convert and in August 2137 at Шаблон:Convert. For comparison, the planet Venus passed Шаблон:Convert from Earth in 2022.

Radar images and computer models of Шаблон:Mp

In the SMASS and Tholen classification, Шаблон:Mp is an X-type asteroid. It has also been characterized as a carbonaceous C-type asteroid, which seems more likely due to its exceptionally low albedo (see below).

Rotation period

Radar imaging by Goldstone and Arecibo observatories revealed that Шаблон:Mp has an unusually slow and possibly chaotic rotation period, similar to that of asteroid 4179 Toutatis.

In July 1999, a rotational lightcurve of Шаблон:Mp was obtained from photometric observations. It gave a period of Шаблон:Val hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.7 magnitude (Шаблон:Small), and suggested that the body is in a non-principal axis rotation, commonly known as tumbling.

Diameter and albedo

Шаблон:Mp measures between 5 and 7 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an exceptionally low albedo of 0.02. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.03 and adopts a diameter of 7 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 15.2.

Numbering and naming

This minor planet was numbered by the Minor Planet Center on 16 February 2003. As of 2018, it has not been named.
