Subject: Nova Cygni, Close asteroid pass
Date: 19 March 2007 17:34:24 GMT
Hi all,
са
1. NOVA CYGNI: As promised in my last email, here's a chart for Nova
Cygni, position shown at the tip of the arrow. It lies approx 1/3 of the
way from Gamma to Alpha Cygni. Stars are shown to magnitude 10. Latest
estimates suggest it is about magnitude 8, so it may not brighten any
further.
2. (From the BAA) саClose Approach of Asteroid 2006 VV2
Asteroid 2006 VV2 passes close to the Earth at the end of March and the
early part of April.са At its closest, on March 31, it will be 0.0226 AU
away (8.8 lunar distances). This will be the closest known approach by
an object this intrinsically bright until May 2036, when binary asteroid
(66391) 1999 KW4 (H=16.4) approaches within 6 lunar distances.са
Observers should be able to see it through modest telescopes as it
reaches 10th magnitude on March 31st and April 1st.
Between 01:00 and 03:00 UT on March 29 the asteroid passes within 25 arc
min of galaxies M82 and M81 and between 19:00 and 21:00 UT on March 31
it approaches within 3 degrees of galaxies M105, M96 and M95.са A list of
close appulses is given below, along with the details of a possible
occultation event visible from the UK on the evening of March 31. сасаса
2006 VV2 will be a very strong radar target and observations are
scheduled at Goldstone (March 27, 30, and April 1-3) and Arecibo (March
31 and April 1). VV2's physical properties are unknown, but its absolute
magnitude of 16.7 suggests a diameter within a factor of two of about 22
km and there is roughly a 1- in- 6 chance that it is a binary system.
Astrometric and photometric data are requested in support of the radar
observations.

OCCULTATION !!! 2007 Mar 31 20:38са HIP 51892 (V=7.25), Asteroid (V=10.0)
саса This is a K2-type star and the track crosses the UK passing Ayr,
Chester, Shrewsbury, Gloucester and Salisbury.са The exact position is
uncertain so observers within say 50-100 km either side of the nominal
position may witness a positive event.саса The duration of any event is
expected to be less than 0.2 sec but this can be recorded using a video
camera given that the star is so bright.са The drop in brightness is
expected to be close to 3 magnitudes.са саса Roger Dymock, Director
Asteroids and Remote Planets Section
IRELAND: Given the present uncertainty in the track, there is a slight
chance that the extreme ENE coast of N Ireland could witness this
occultation - the NE coasts of Co Antrim & Co Down lie within about 100
km of the track. If the asteroid is a binary, then the chances of an
occultation visible from here are slightly greater. саса Any such
observation would produce really valuable information, so anyone with
suitable equipment should prepare to try to record it if at all
possible.са I'll give an update if further information becomes available.
Further detail can be found on the Asteroid and Remote Planets Section
website.
