A trail of 1999 AN10 was located and measured by A. Gnadig and A. Doppler
on the Digital Sky Survey (DSS) copy of a 45-min red-exposure Palomar Sky
Survey I (PSS) plate. Gnadig and Doppler remarked on the difficulty of their
trail measurement. Examination of the DSS shows an extremely weak image. In
view of this, it was decided to remeasure the trail from the PSS prints, as
well as measuring the corresponding trail from the 12-min blue-exposure plate.
Extracts from the two prints were scanned and the resulting images were
measured. The r.m.s. of the fit of 25-30 USNO-A2.0 comparison stars was 0".22.
As examination of the residual block above shows, the trail-end measures are
clearly not consistent at the subarcsecond level, partly because of the poor
definition of the trail ends and partly because the times of exposure of the
PSS plates were recorded only to the nearest minute. The apparent better
agreement of the start of the first trail with the second-trail measures
is presumably fortuitous.
Computations by B. G. Marsden and G. V. Williams show that the miss
distance on 2027 Aug. 7.3 UT will be 0.0026 AU. The subsequent revolution
period of a little over 1.74 years precludes the possibility of any further
significant approach to the earth until Feb. 2076, when the miss distance
can be expected to be less than 0.05 AU (although it cannot be as small
as 0.008 AU).
