IAU A79

Eight MB asteroids have been discovered in a course of A79 observations in November (14-21). Five of the bodies are members of the central part of the belt, two of the inner and one is an outer. We performed consecutive observations in December and improved significantly their orbital elements. Five of the discovered 9 asteroids in November now have multi opposition orbits, one has more than 80 days arc and three were observed more than one month (33 days each). More about the designations and orbits of the asteroids you can find in a results page.
Two other bodies have been discovered, but latter linked to known asteroids. For us was not understandable how it is possible an object, which has 33 days observations in 2009, than to be linked with “known” asteroid for which the predicted position differs with the actual one more than 33!! degree, but it seems that some of the MPC machine procedures are not adequate.
We have to notice that 2009 WR was initially discovered remotely by our member Kolyo Dankov and than he used our own instruments to confirm his discovery. Kolyo works also in an independent way mainly by remote observations. More about his own discoveries you can find here (Only in Bulgarian).
