Mount Lemmon Survey (MLS) is a part of the Catalina Sky Survey with observatory code G96.[1] MLS uses a {{convert|1.52|m|in|abbr=on}} cassegrain reflector telescope operated by the Steward Observatory at Mount Lemmon Observatory, which is located at {{convert|2791|m|ft|sp=us}} in the Santa Catalina Mountains northeast of Tucson, Arizona.

It is currently one of the most prolific surveys worldwide, especially for discovering near-Earth objects. MLS ranks among the top discoverers on the Minor Planet Center's discovery chart with a total of more than 50 thousand numbered minor planets.[2]

History

The survey accidentally rediscovered 206P/Barnard-Boattini, a lost comet, on October 7, 2008, by Andrea Boattini.[5] The comet has made 20 revolutions since 1892 and passed within 0.3 - 0.4 AU from Jupiter in 1922, 1934 and 2005.[3][4] This comet was also the first comet to be discovered by photographic means, by the American astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard did so on the night of October 13, 1892.

[5]{{mpl|2011 UN|63}} was discovered by the Mt. Lemmon Survey on September 27, 2009 and it is a stable {{L5}} Mars trojan asteroid.[6][7] The survey also discovered the unusual Aten asteroid {{mpl|2012 FC|71}}, a dynamically cold Kozai resonator, on March 31, 2012.[8]
