Among the hundreds of thousands known asteroids, 2019 AQ3‘s orbit was thought to have likely the smallest semi-major axis (0.589\u00a0AU) and aphelion (0.77\u00a0AU), that is, the orbit’s average distance and farthest point from the Sun, respectively.[6] The object was first observed on 4 January 2019, by astronomers at Palomar’s Zwicky Transient Facility in California, with recovered images dating back to 2015.[1][2]The record for smallest semi-major axis was beaten by another asteroid, 2019 LF6, with 0.555 AU.[7]Table of ContentsOrbit and classification[edit]Aphelion[edit]Atira class[edit]Inclination[edit]Perturbations[edit]Numbering and naming[edit]Physical characteristics[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Orbit and classification[edit]viewed from roughly the ascending and descending nodes of the orbitviewed from the ecliptic poleviewed face-on to the orbit2019 AQ3 orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.40\u20130.77\u00a0AU once every 5 months (165 days; semi-major axis of 0.589\u00a0AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.31 and an inclination of 47\u00b0 with respect to the ecliptic.[3] The body’s observation arc begins with a precovery taken by Pan-STARRS at Haleakala Observatory in October 2015, more than 3 years prior to its official first observation at the Zwicky Transient Facility on 4 January 2019.[1] It has a minimum orbit intersection distance with Earth of 0.22\u00a0AU or 88 lunar distances.[3]Aphelion[edit]2019 AQ3‘s orbit has the third-smallest aphelion of any known asteroid in the Solar System, never distancing itself more than 0.774\u00a0AU from the Sun (77% of Earth’s average orbital distance).[6] Before its discovery, the record was held by (418265) 2008 EA32 at an aphelion of 0.804\u00a0AU, which is notably larger. 2019 AQ3‘s orbit also has a semi-major axis below that of Venus (0.723\u00a0AU) and an orbital period of 165 days, which is the third shortest among all asteroids.[8]Atira class[edit]2019 AQ3 is a member of the small class of Atira asteroids,[3] which are also known as Apoheles or interior-Earth objects, as their orbits are confined inside that of Earth’s. This makes their discovery difficult, as they stay relatively close to the Sun when observed from Earth, never reaching a Solar elongation of more than 90\u00b0, often much less. Only 19 such asteroids are known, 14 of which still reach 90% Earth’s distance from the Sun over the course of their orbit.[9]Inclination[edit]The asteroid’s orbit is also highly inclined with respect to the plane of the Solar System, at more than 47\u00b0, the highest inclination of any known Atira asteroid,[9] although there are many near-Earth asteroids with even higher inclinations.[10]  Total of 896 large near-Earth asteroid discoveries (larger than 1\u00a0km) by year and survey since 1995 (as of January 2019)[11]Perturbations[edit]On the short-term, 2019 AQ3 has a fairly quickly-changing orbit. Between 1600 AD and 2500 AD its aphelion distance lowers slightly from 0.7746 to 0.7725\u00a0AU, its perihelion distance increases slightly from 0.4025 to 0.4046\u00a0AU, and its inclination increases slightly from 47.19 to 47.25\u00b0. It is not subjected to a Kozai resonance because although its eccentricity and inclination oscillate in synchrony (when the eccentricity reaches its maximum value, the inclination is at its lowest and vice versa) over a long period of time, the value of the argument of perihelion circulates; the Earth-Moon system and Jupiter are its dominant perturbers.[12]Numbering and naming[edit]As of 2019, this minor planet has neither been numbered nor named by the Minor Planet Center.[1]Physical characteristics[edit]The object’s diameter is estimated at 1.4 kilometers (0.87 miles),[4] which corresponds to an assumed geometric albedo of 0.08 for an absolute magnitude of 17.6.[5] The Minor Planet Center also considers 2019 AQ3 to be larger than 1 kilometer.[1] However, these are estimates with apparently no published measurement confirming the body’s diameter. Based on a generic magnitude-to-diameter conversion, the asteroid could measure anywhere between 500 meters and 2 kilometers for an extreme albedo of 0.45 (brighter than the E-types of the Hungaria population) and 0.04 (very dark carbonaceous D- and P-types of some members in the Hildian and Jupiter trojan population), respectively.[5] As of 2019, less than 900 large (kilometer-sized) near-Earth asteroids have been discovered.[11]References[edit]External links[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki43\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki43\/2019-aq3-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"2019 AQ3 – Wikipedia"}}]}]
