扰动小行星P/2010 A2的发现前观测

Pre-Discovery Observations of Disrupting Asteroid P/2010 A2

David Jewitt, Joseph S. Stuart, Jing Li

摘要:

太阳系物体P/2010 A2是最近一颗可能因碰撞而破裂的小行星的后果中最先引起注意的例子。从2009年初推测的开始到2010年初最终发现,过去了将近一年。在这里,我们使用新的观察来评估可见性的潜在因素,特别是为了理解延迟的发现。我们提出了从线性望远镜的预发现观测,并设置限制SOHO和STEREO卫星日冕图像的早期亮度。考虑到P/2010 A2的发现环境,类似的物体一定很常见,未来的全天巡天将大量发现它们。

英文摘要:

Solar system object P/2010 A2 is the first-noticed example of the aftermath of a recently disrupted asteroid, probably resulting from a collision. Nearly a year elapsed between its inferred initiation in early 2009 and its eventual detection in early 2010. Here, we use new observations to assess the factors underlying the visibility, especially to understand the delayed discovery. We present prediscovery observations from the LINEAR telescope and set limits to the early-time brightness from SOHO and STEREO satellite coronagraphic images. Consideration of the circumstances of discovery of P/2010 A2 suggests that similar objects must be common, and that future all-sky surveys will reveal them in large numbers.
