(242643) 2005 NZ6 Goldstone Radar Observations Planning


Background


(242643) 2005 NZ6 was discovered by the NEAT Survey (Palomar Mountain) on July 3, 2005.  Its physical characteristics are
effectivley unknown except for its absolute magnitude of 17.6, which suggests a diameter within a factor
of two of about 950 meters. This asteroid has a very eccentric orbit (e = 0.865) and it makes regular
approaches within 0.1 AU of all four terrestrial planets.

This asteroid will approach within 0.064 AU (24.9 lunar distances) on April 29, its closest distance to Earth for this century.  
It should be a moderately strong radar target at Goldstone and an outstanding target at Arecibo, where it should be 
imaged at 7.5 m resolution. 

We have three tracks scheduled at Goldstone on Apr. 26, 27, and 28.  Six tracks are scheduled at Arecibo between Apr. 26-May 1.

2005 NZ6  has been classified as a "Potentially Hazardous Asteroid" (PHA) by the IAU's Minor Planet Center.

Setups



We don't know anything about the spin state of 2005 NZ6, but Arecibo's first track will finish before we start,
so we will know the bandwidth.  If this object turns out to  be a rapid rotator, we can expect the bandwidth ~50 Hz.
Arecibo will likely update the orbital solution, so we will be in good shape regarding the uncertainties for our 
first track.
