Message: 1 Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 12:19:09 -0800 From: Lance Benner Subject: Upcoming radar targets: 2001 BE10 and 6239 Minos Greetings everyone, Radar observations of near-Earth asteroids 2001 BE10 and 6239 Minos are scheduled between mid-January and early February, 2004. We're doing 2001 BE10 at Arecibo starting on January 13 and Minos at Goldstone and Arecibo starting on January 30. To the best of my knowledge, the physical properties of these objects are unknown. Both objects should reach about visual magnitude 14 in January. Is anyone planning to observe these objects? Photometry would be particularly useful. Best wishes, Lance ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Lance A. M.
