Goldstone Radar Observations Planning: (159402) 1999 AP10
1999 AP10 was discovered on 1999 January 14 by LINEAR. This asteroid has an absolute magnitude of 16.1, a rotation period of 7.9 hours, and a lightcurve amplitude of about 0.4 magnitudes that suggests a moderately elongated shape. Arecibo delay-Doppler imaging in 2009 led by M. Brozovic revealed an object about 2 km in diameter whose leading edge is rounded at some longitudes but has flat regions and a more tapered appearance at others. This asteroid will approach within 0.0807 au on 2020 October 19 and we are expecting SNRs at Goldstone that should be strong enough for delay-Doppler imaging. The SNRs at Arecibo will be much stronger and sufficient for imaging at Arecibo's finest range resolution of 7.5 m/pixel. Observations at Goldstone are scheduled on only one date: October 24. Observations will are not scheduled at Arecibo following failure of an auxiliary cable in August, 2020. 1999 AP10 will be brighter than 17th magnitude from August 2020-February 2021, will brighten to 13th magnitude in October, and will thus be an excellent target for photometry. This lengthy apparition provides an important opportunity to estimate the asteroid's pole direction, which is not known, and to refine estimates of the rotation period. Pole directions are known for less than 100 near-Earth asteroids, so there's a significant knowledge gap, and in addition, the pole direction will facilitate 3D shape estimation using radar data and lightcurves. 1999 AP10 will move more than 130 degrees while its visual magnitude is brighter than 17. The 2020 Earth flyby is the closest by this asteroid until after the year 2500.
