We confirmed the comet nature of the NEOCP object 9O0DB7B. The new comet was designed as C/2009 O4 (Hill). The preliminary orbit of the 16m comet indicates perihelion on Dec. 1, 2009, at about 2.9 AU (IAUC 9059, subscription required, MPEC 2009-O56). Another comet C/2009 O3 (Hill) has been confirmed via the NEOCP from A79 […]

Three Main Belt Asteroids have been discovered from A79 team during the period 25-28/07/2009. More observations are needed to be obtained good orbital solutions. Together with the conformation of the objects listed on the NEO confirmation page we currently observe and our last findings. Follow the information listed on the result page and the further […]
Discovery of 2009 OD, 2009 OV, 2009 OD2 and 2009 OW2

Four Main Belt Asteroids have been discovered during the period 16-21/07/2009.
According to the current orbital elements, two of the bodies, 2009 OD and 2009 OV, can be classified as outer members and one, 2009 OD2, can be involved in the central zone of the MB. Presumably, the 2009 OW2 belong to the Nysas family, outside […]
