DISCSTATUS

Version 1.45 (2019 Dec 18)

This analyze started at 09-15-2021 01:39:12 . The program Discstatus by Jost Jahn, Amrum, Germany (discstatus@jostjahn.de) was used.

The DISCSTATUS report was received at 2019 May 23.

The old scheme of discovery credit cannot be taken in account, because the date, when the orbit was given multiple (before or after the decision in the URL) isn't saved anywhere.

SATINO Remote Observatory, Haute Provence (C95)

There are 1 change(s) due to last run. These changes are mark with a red background in the last column.
2017 SV106 is new: Probably station G96.

Columns:

• Number - Number of minor planet.
• Designation - Designation of minor planet, linked to MPC.
• Packed designation - Packed designation of minor planet, linked to file with all observations.
• Own name - Own designation, when you sent it to the MPC, linked to file with own observations.
• Status - Status of discovery (see below), linked to group file.
• Obs - Number of observations.
• All Opps - Number of all oppositions.
• Good Opps - Number of opposition with more than one night.
• Arc - Arc of observation in days.
• Resolution - Residual of orbit in arcsec.
• Unc. - Uncertainty of orbit (given by MPC).
• Stations - Number of stations for this minor planet.
• First Opp - Year of first observed opposition.
• Last Opp - Year of last observed opposition.
• Years - Years of observation arc.
• First station - Station at first observation in time order, not ever the discovery station.
• Last station - Station at last observation in time order, not ever the discovery station.
• First observation - Date of first observation.
• Last observation - Date of last observation.
• Note - Note from DISCSTATUS with addition changes.

Notes:

• If the MPC observation database give only the orbit without observations, the observations can't be listed. This happens sometimes without any known reason.
• Numbered objects are emphasized
• The links below lists all objects as text for copy&paste into MPC masks.
• 'Own name' should be the name, used in first report of this object to the MPC. Sometimes there appears the name of another observatory. The reason is unknown.
• Please try the different links. They should be self-explaining.
• The column 'First station' is just the station of the time-sorted first observation of this object. This is not every time the discovery station!
• 'Inofficial discovery' is noted, when the minor planet is numbered after the publication of the DISCSTRAUS and the discovery station is well determined.

Numbered: Numbered and discovered by another station: 13 ( 10 %)

Another: Discovery will be attributed to another stations: 61 ( 47 %)

Väisälä: Discovery may be possible from my station, but only Väisälä until now: 4 ( 3 %)

1-Opp: Discovery may be possible from my station, but only 1-opp until now: 4 ( 3 %)

Multi-Opp: Discovery may be from my station, multiple-opp until now: 8 ( 6 %)
