RE: Magnitude question about MP2010 DK71
Elliott, Robert C. Jul 20, 2011
I have solved the magnitude problem to my satisfaction for MP 2010 DK71.
Looking at the orbital elements in Guide 8 that were downloaded from the Klet mirror site I noticed that the Absolute mag (H) was listed as 0.15 which was same as the slope parameter given just below it, which is generally given as 0.15.
I think that the slope parameter was placed in the wrong box since in the WISE satellite data does not include magnitudes in their reporting of positions.
Thanks for all of your suggestions.
