Background

2013 BS45 was discovered by Spacewatch on January 20, 2013. The physical properties of this object are unknown other than its absolute magnitude of 25.7 which suggests a diameter within a factor of two of 23 meters.

This object is on the "NHATS" list of potential human mission targets, so there's considerable interest in improving its orbit and understanding its physical properties.

2013 BS45 will approach within 0.0123 AU (4.8 lunar distances) on Feb. 12. We're going to observe it during time already scheduled for Camillo on Feb. 10-13 when the SNRs should be sufficient to get a detection.

Orbital and Physical Characteristics
orbit type Apollo semimajor axis 1.003 AU
eccentricity 0.0847 inclination 0.92 deg
perihelion distance 0.918 AU
aphelion distance 1.088 AU
absolute magnitude (H) 25.7 diameter ~23 meters (within a factor of two) rotation period unknown pole direction unknown lightcurve amplitude unknown spectral class unknown

Uncertainties

From Jon Giorgini, 2013 Feb 12:

Marina sorted out the ambiguity with the 2013 BS45 delays and updated to orbit solution #22. This has radically reduced the uncertainties:

Setups

We're going to start with the CW setup below. We know nothing about the rotation period, so we'll start with a standard setup in the hope that it will resolve the object.

Due to the very short round-trip time, we will NOT hop the transmitter.

TX polarization RCP RCV polarization LCP & RCP Frequency hops: no hops Bandwidth: 4000 Hz Sampling interval: 2500 x 0.1 usec VME FFT for PSD files: 256 for 0.15.6Hz resolution TX offset : +500 Hz

Ranging setups:

POSSIBLE RANGING SETUPS: (code=127, FFT=64, single-pol'n) These are from JX, w/ max-band (min-acc) options from Ray Jurgens. Currently configured for 5-sec records.
