First NEO discovery at Crni Vrh Observatory.
Fast moving object, crossing the field of Comet C/2001 RX14 (LINEAR) was found by J. Skvarč on 2003 March 5 in the course of our sky survey program with 60-cm, f/3.3 Deltagraph telescope. Due to rapid motion, the object left ~2 arc min trace on both 120 second images taken 4 minutes apart. NEO is just S-SW of the comet and moves toward the SW direction. After beeing confirmed by several observatories it received the designation 2003 EM1. Preliminary measurements indicate that this is a very fast rotating asteroid, probably first of this size with rotating period of less than 2 minutes. It belongs to Aten type of asteroids which have their orbit entirely inside the Earth's. Further orbit details are published in MPEC 2003-E28. Image scale is 2.49 arc sec/pixel. Dark columns in the middle of frames are due to bad CCD cosmetics. Copyright © 2003 by J. Skvarc, Crni Vrh Observatory, Slovenia.
