2005 OE3 Planning


Background


2005 OE3 was discovered by the Siding Spring Survey (Australia) on July 29, 2005.
It approached within 0.028 AU (11 lunar distances) on August 16.  Its
absolute magnitude of 20.3 suggests a diameter within a factor of two of 300 meters.  
Its rotation period, pole direction, and taxonomic class (composition) are unknown.

Due to its size and the proximity of its orbit to that of Earth, the Minor
Planet Center has classified 2005 OE3 as a "Potentially Hazardous Asteroid."
We have only one track to observe this object: August 21.  2005 OE3 should be strong
enough for coarse resolution ranging and, if we're lucky, perhaps coarse-resolution 
delay-Doppler imaging.

Setups

CW Setup

The Doppler uncertainties are large for this object, so let's start with a setup
that gives a wide bandwidth.  After the initial CW detection, we'll update the ephemeris and
narrow the bandwidth.

Let's use the same CW setup that we used 
on the first two tracks:

TX polarization           RCP
RCV polarization          LCP
Frequencies:              2
Dwell:                    20 seconds
Bandwidth:               40000 Hz  (yes, 40 kHz)
Sampling interval:        250 x 0.1 usec
