CONFUSING REPORTS ABOUT ASTEROID 2002NY40 Orbit diagram

[TB2K]

08-13-2002 06:49 PM
**Minimum distance is now .0006509 AU or about 1/4 the distance 
to the moon, based upon 515 observations and 7 discards. 
This has changed from a minimum of approximately lunar distance 
a week or so ago and there only five more days for revisions. 
Break out the tin hats ... This could get interesting**.

Reset Panic Mode ... Everyone can go back to sleep. :-) 
0.0035223 Nominal 
0.0035213 Minimum 
Both about 330,000 miles or ~ 1.3 x lunar distance
( Look 2/3 of way down for 2002/08/18 ) 
602 Observations 
7 discarded 
It looks to me like they may have made a mistake 
yesterday on the calculations. I think they owe 
us a big ´Ooops ... Sorry´**

Caution, have no idea what is seen defined in the solar plasma; could be insignificant. Sleuths?

Asteroid 2002NY40 Info needed

Friend: any more news on tis rock? http://newton.dm.unipi.it/cgi-bin/neodys/neoibo?objects:2002NY40;main

Friend: still question mark?

BARDSQUILL: The figures are jumping all over the place, makes no sense to me.

Friend: me neither...even dates changing

BARDSQUILL: Now these figures:

	element value	1-sigma variation
a (AU)	2.03962	2.833e-06
eccentricity	0.710119	4.372e-07
inclination (deg)	5.771	1.121e-05
Asc. node (deg)	146.857	9.905e-06
Arg. perih. (deg)	268.279	3.149e-05
M (deg)	332.259	6.374e-05

BARDSQUILL: yesterday the sigma was at .0004+

Friend: think they changin em just to mess with us?

BARDSQUILL: I was told that sigma is a margin of error figure

Friend: yea...sigma usually about standard deviations etc...margin of error

BARDSQUILL: so I went away, whew, yesterday thinking that the 003.3 AU might go up and down a little but not much...

BARDSQUILL: But now this error figure is HUGE
