Peter Birtwhistle, MPC code J95 observed IMP-8 on May 5.87, 2004 UT, some 90 arcseconds East of the EOSJ Page prediction. Using only observations since last...
Hi folks, Just wanted to second Tony's request for a "fresh eye" to take a look at the IMP-8 data. You can see what we've come up with so far, and get the...
Hello MPML, Mike Nolan et al. detected a binary nature of 2003 YT1 at Arecibo well. Glad to see that the suspicion from the photometric observations at Modra, ...

Hi list, I would be very grateful for some comments about the future of the big surveys. Since surveys cost money and depending on the limit in absolute...
Hi Maik, Surely you are missing the point here. (I mean that in the best sense!). The reason I do what I do is to routinely do follow up observations, and ...
Maik: An interesting set of questions many that I have been thinking about also. NASA set a goal of cataloging 90% of the 1 km NEOs over a 10 year period based...
