(1) ASTEROID 1620 GEOGRAPHOS
From: Alan W. Harris
Dear Benny,
a) The asteroid's name is 1620 GEOGRAPHOS.
b) Geographos has been extensively observed both optically (e.g.
Magnusson and 47 other co-authors, Icarus 123, 227-244, 1996) and by
radar (Ostro et al. Nature 375, 474-477, 1995), and has failed to
reveal the slightest irregularity in its rotational properties from
these very extensive data sets. Thus it is very likely that the
claimed results of the recent Ukrainian observations are spurious.
