Goldstone Radar Observations Planning: 2002 FG7 and 2014 YB35
This is a planning page for asteroids 2002 FG7 and 2014 YB35 in March 2015. 2002 FG7 2002 FG7 was discovered on 2002 Mar 28 by NEAT. This object has an absolute magnitude of 18.9, suggesting a diameter of roughly 500 m, but otherwise its physical properties are unknown. This asteroid will approach within 0.05 AU on 2015 Mar 13 but will not be observable by radar until March 17, when it enters the Goldstone declination window. The radar SNRs are not high enough for imaging the target however we expect to obtain continuous wave (CW) spectra. The bandwidth of the echo in the CW spectra combined with a size assumption will provide an estimate of the rotation period of the asteroid. The circular polarization ratio of the object will provide clues to the composition of the object. We are scheduled to observe 2002 FG7 at DSS-14 on 2015 Mar 17. Between Mar 11 and Apr 2 this object will be brighter than 17th magnitude and reach an elongation of about 160 degrees during which optical lightcurves could be obtained. 2014 YB35 2014 YB35 was discovered on 2014 Dec 27 by the Catalina Sky Survey. It has an absolute magnitude of 18.9, suggesting a diameter of roughly 500 m, but otherwise its physical properties are unknown. 2014 YB35 will approach within 0.03 AU on 2015 Mar 27. It will get close enough to be observed using Goldstone on Mar 09 and will be observable till Mar 30 after which it will exit the Goldstone declination window to the south. We are scheduled to observe this object on Mar 20 and we expect to obtain CW spectra and coarse-resolution range-Doppler images. The object will reach magnitudes brighter than 17 during mid-March when it could be a lightcurve target. The Minor Planet Center has classified 2002 FG7 and 2014 YB35 as "Potentially Hazardous Asteroids."
