(417634) 2006 XG 1 provisional designation 2006 XG 1, is a sub-kilometer asteroid, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group, that had a low but non-zero probability of impacting Earth on 31 October 2041. The asteroid was discovered on 20 September 2006, by astronomers of the Catalina Sky Survey, using a dedicated 0.68-meter telescope at Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona, United States.
Description
Originally listed with a Torino Scale hazard rating of 0, this was raised to a rating of 1 on 22 December 2006 as a result of additional observations and refinement of the orbital calculations. However, on 9 January 2007 it was returned to a rating of 0. It was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 7 February 2007.
It is now known that the asteroid will not make a close approach to the Earth in 2041. On 31 October 2041, the asteroid will be 1.69 AU km mi on on from the Earth.
2006 XG 1 passed 0.0298 AU km mi on off from asteroid 87 Sylvia on 20 June 1969. It is also a Mars-crosser asteroid.
Physical characteristics
According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, 2006 XG 1 measures 418 meters in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.154. Previously, JPL's Sentry System estimated a diameter of 670 meters with a mass of 4.2 11 kg.January 2018
