近地小行星2024 XA1的观测研究

Observational Research of Near Earth Asteroid 2024 XA1

  • 摘要: 本文采用针对拖尾星象的图像处理方法和以Gaia DR2星表为参考星表,获得了近地小行星2024 XA1的位置和亮度信息。结合国际小行星中心(Minor Planet Center,MPC)其它设备观测数据,对近地小行星2024 XA1进行了轨道计算,得到其撞击日期为世界时2024年12月3日16:14:48,撞击位置为为60.85°N,118.49°E。同时,获得近地小行星2024 XA1绝对星等为32.98~33.14,取反照率0.15,其对应直径大小为0.76~0.82 m。本文所涉及的观测策略和数据处理及分析方法可应用于行星预警防御任务。

     

    Abstract: This study adopted image processing methods for trailed target and Gaia DR2 catalog data to determine position and brightness of near-Earth asteroid 2024 XA1. Combined with the data from Minor Planet Center(MPC), orbital calculations revealed that near-Earth asteroid 2024 XA1 impacted at 16:14:48 UT on December 3, 2024, at coordinates 60.85°N, 118.49°E. The absolute magnitude of near-Earth asteroid 2024 XA1 was 32.98~33.14 corresponding to a diameter of 0.76~0.82 meters with an albedo of 0.15. As a targeted observation experiment for hazardous asteroids, the methodology and data processing techniques developed in this study can be applied to planetary warning and defense missions in future.
