2014 ES 57 is a Greek camp Jupiter trojan roughly 5.6 km 1 off us in diametersize that was briefly listed on the Sentry Risk Table in April 2021 when JPL transitioned to DE441. Once listed on the Sentry Risk Table additional archived observations were quickly located that confirmed 2014 ES 57 is a harmless Jupiter trojan that does not get closer to Earth than 3.8 AU e6km unit on. Once the new astrometry was verified and published it was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 4 May 2021.
When 2014 ES 57 had a short observation arc of 3 days, some orbit solutions suggested it could be a near-Earth object that was discovered when it was near aphelion 7 AU from the Sun. As a result of the possible near-Earth orbit, the Sentry Risk Table listed a non-significant 1:1-billion chance of impacting Earth on 12 October 2059.
Notes
size Given an absolute magnitude (H) of 14.98 and a trojan albedo for a carbonaceous asteroid of 0.057, yields a mean diameter of around 5.6 kilometer or 3 miles.
