Total asteroids discovered from MPC B74: 545

Total asteroids discovered from les Planes de Son (MPC C29): 13
Total asteroids discovered from Observatori del Teide (MPC 954) = 25
Total discoveries B74 + C29 + 954 = 583

Our asteroid 266983 (2010 WE66) was named Josepbosch after my son Josep Bosch Olivera. Also 322390 (2011 QN42) was named Planes de Son, 367693 (2010 RZ109) Montmagastrell, 333744 Pau, 389470 Jan, 578053 Jordillorca, 551601 Antonijové, 599755 Alcarràs, 614470 Flordeneu, 622467 Ignés, 547508 Perehorts

This site has discovered five NEA Aplollo class: 614470 Flordeneu (2009 ST19) (see below) - 2015 FQ - 2021 XQ5 - 2022 BL7 - 2023 TF5four NEA Amor class: 2012 UT9 - 2021 TY3 - 2021 TG3 - 2023 VD10 and the Jupiter Trojan 634878 (2012 TG35)


Follow-up Astrometry

This site has sent a total of 13879 observations until January 2019. Since this year the MPC does not update data. All reports to Minor Planet CenterFollow-up astrometry and recoveries are made with the Advanced Coma-Free optical system like the Ritchey-Chrétien 16 inch f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain at Santa Maria de Montmagastrell Survey (MPC code B74). The  CCD has 24 micron pixels and a 21'x21' field. At the moment, the telescope pointing and dome control are computer controlled from the above control room and remote control. The dome is a sliding roof that moves on rails.

Data Reduction
All data are reduced on a PC. Flat-fielding, Dark and Bias is done using MaxIm DL. The astrometry is done with both TheSky6 Astronomy Software, Herbert Raab's Astrometrica and Daniel Parrott's Tycho Tracker software which are an excellent track and stack options. As Astrometrica & Tycho also allows the simple identification of all objects in the field, these are currently the software of choice.

Following the release of EDR3 Gaia, virtually all of our astrometry is done using this. An astrometric accuracy in the fit of 0".0 – 0”.5 RMS in each coordinate is obtained for hundred stars within the field. For high S/N targets, the absolute accuracy of the astrometry is of about the same magnitude; the absolute accuracy of UCAC-4 being smaller than this.

I am sorry, but few people in the world have discovered asteroids in the sky and also meteorites on Earth. I am one, if there is any other:

First discoveries on 2009 - 2010

Asteroid 333744 Pau (2009 YW6) 

The Minor Planet Center (MPC) has assigned on December 21, 2009 a new discovery. The asteroid 2009 YW6 (333744) was discovered in images taken on December 20 and confirmed by Antonio Garrigós (MPC B37) and the discoverer in new observations the night after. Pau Bosch Pellicer (born 2007) is the first grandson of the discoverer.

Asteroid 389470 Jan (2010 ER45) 
The Minor Planet Center has assigned on 16 March. 2010 the new discovery of 2021 ER45 in images taken during the early hours of March 14 and confirmet by the discoverer in new observations the next night. On 6 March the MPC announced that 2010 ER45 is the asteroid 1997 GF28 with two oppositions, but main designation 2010 ER45 remains. Jan Bosch Pellicer (born 2010) is the second grandson of the discoverer.

Discovery of the Apollo PHA asteroid 614470 Flordeneu (2009 ST19)

This minor planet, belonging to the Apollo class, is also flagged as a "Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA)", an object that, because of its orbital parameters, might represent a possible threat of impact for planet Earth (http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/neo/pha.html).

It has beeen discovered by the astronomer Josep M. Bosch from Santa Maria de Montmagastrell (MPC B74) on 2009, Sept. 16.2, at magnitude about 17. At that time it was posted on the NEOCP webpage of the Minor Planet Center as "jmbo11"; after a couple of days it was withdrawn, because it was not confirmed by any further observations.

On 2009, Sept. 22, the LINEAR sky survey picked-up a fast moving object, that was posted in the NEO-Cp as "BQ24981". After some follow-up observations from various sites, on 2009 Sept. 23 the MPC published M.P.E.C. 2009-S72 (http://tinyurl.com/yer5xmr), informing that the two objects mentioned before were actually the same celestial body.
According to the NEODyS webpage this object. about 1.5 Km in diameter, made a close pass to Earth on 1980, Oct. 4, at a minimum possible distance of about 0.009 AU (nominal distance of about 0.04 AU).

Citation on MPC: Flordeneu is a mythological character from the epic 1886 poem Canigó, by Jacint Verdaguer. The poem is one of the most important of the Renaissance of the Catalan language and culture. [Ref: WGSBN Bull. 3, #13, 19]

Observatory Santa Maria On September 23th, at 10:00 pm. I went on a motorcycle to my observatory, located in a small village of 60 inhabitants called Santa Maria de Montmagastrell, 8 km far from my house. As I walked out of the fuel station, my mobile phone started to rang. At the time, I stopped the bike and went back to the side of the road, the phone stopped calling. Upon arrival at the observatory, the call repeated while preparing the telescope for another observation night. This time, I can answer the call phone. It was Gustavo Muller to communicate that the MPC have just provisionally designated the possible NEO I saw in some pictures taken last September 16. That past day, I had gotten up at three in the morning and, among other objectives, Comet 137P looked to no avail. Well, the comet was not in the 14 pictures I took of the field and so I went to other objectives that had to watch. At dawn, with the first light was fading I control systems and the telescope placed in sleep mode to close the observatory and go to bed to rest. At that time, I reviewed the images of the comet 137P field by the custom of not leaving any possibility loose. I started the blink of images and in less than a second I realized that there in the fourteen shots 70 seconds each moving something big. I checked that was not a known object, and then I sent four astrometric measurements to the MPC. Hours passed, spent six days, and when he had lost hope of recovering the object the MPC announced it had been found by various observatories, including the LINEAR and gave the provisional number 2009 ST19. I thought I had lost, although the night I had a discovery following email exchange with Tim Spahr of the MPC, who assured me find it. And they've found!

Richard Miles said:
Yes, Special congratulations, José María. This is a very special object. It breaks the record in terms of the closest pass by an object of this size, about 1 km across! 
We currently know of no object larger than this to have come closer than this object has recently. The next largest such object was the famous (69230) Hermes (H=17.5), which approached to 0.0050 AU of the Earth in 1937! Your PHA, 2009 ST19 will be visible during the next few weeks and so will be a good target for photometry.
