Thanks to all that have tried to help to identify "S. R. Swann", the co-discoverer, with E F. Helin, of (161995) 1983 LB. Having established that (4082) Swann...
From this morning's MPEC 2007-T13 First congratulations to all sites contributing observations and to the P-L teams on the original photographic discovery in...
Dear David and MPML members, ... I think that contrary to MBA linkages when NEOs get linked the chronologically first designation gets the primary one. I...
Dear Reiner, ... It seems to me that the MPC follows the same rule as MBAs. In all the cases that chronologically last designation gets primary (listed below ...

Hi Peter, This looks quite a bit like WMAP. It's hanging out around the L2 point, about .01 AU or less away, near opposition (I think all observations of...
Hi Reiner, ... Do you have the astrometry on this one? I have a candidate one-night match from 2002, but hard to assess it w/o the 9 obs from 1991. (I ...
