{{mp|2018 CF|2}} is a micro-asteroid and near-Earth object of the Apollo group on an eccentric orbit with has an estimated {{convert|4|-|15|m|ft|sigfig=1|sp=us}}. It was first observed on 7 February 2018, by astronomers of the Mount Lemmon Survey at Mount Lemmon Observatory, Arizona, United States.[1] The discovery occurred the day after its sub-lunar passage as it approached the Earth from a sunward direction, and this flyby altered the asteroid's orbit slightly.

Orbit and classification

{{mp|2018 CF|2}} belongs to the Apollo asteroids, the largest group of near-Earth objects with nearly 10 thousand known members, which cross the orbit of Earth.

Based on a high uncertainty, it orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.91–2.77 AU once every 2 years and 6 months (910 days; semi-major axis of 1.84 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.51 and an inclination of 16° with respect to the ecliptic. With an aphelion of 2.77 AU, it is also a Mars-crosser, as it crosses the orbit of the Red Planet at 1.666 AU. The body's observation arc begins at Mount Lemmon with its first observation on 7 February 2018.[1]

2018 flyby

On 6 February 2018, 18:45 UTC, the day before its first observation, it had a flyby with the Earth at a nominal distance of 0.25 lunar distances (LD).[5] Its next close approach to Earth is projected to occur on 23 January 2023, at {{convert|0.111|AU|LD|abbr=on}}. After the 2018-passage, the body's minimum orbital intersection distance with Earth increased to {{convert |0.00077 |AU |LD|abbr=on |lk=off |sigfig=2 |order=flip}}.

Physical characteristics

The Minor Planet Center estimates a diameter of {{convert|4|-|15|m|ft|sigfig=1|sp=us}}.[5] Based on a generic magnitude-to-diameter conversion using an absolute magnitude of 28.036, the body measures between 7 and 14 meters in diameter for an assumed albedo of 0.057 and 0.20, which represent typical values for carbonaceous and stony asteroids, respectively.[6]

As of 2018, no rotational lightcurve of {{mp|2018 CF|2}} has been obtained from photometric observations. The body's rotation period, pole and shape remain unknown.

Numbering and naming

This minor planet has not yet been numbered.[1]
