(5496) 1973 NA, is a very eccentric and heavily tilted asteroid, classified as near-Earth object of the Apollo group, approximately 2 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 4 July 1973, by American astronomer Eleanor Helin at the U.S. Palomar Observatory in California.[2] At the time of its discovery, it was the most highly inclined minor planet known to exist. It may be the parent body of the Quadrantids.

Parent of the Quadrantids

{{mp|1973 NA}} is a possible parent body of the Quadrantids, a major meteor shower that occurs every January. It may also be just a fragment of the parent or the dormant remains of the parent. Other possible parent bodies are {{mp|Comet 1491 I}} and comet 96P/Machholz,[11] as well as {{mpl|(196256) 2003 EH|1}}.[12][13]

Orbit and classification

The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.9–4.0 AU once every 3 years and 10 months (1,388 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.64 and an inclination of 68° with respect to the ecliptic. No precoveries were taken. The asteroid's observation arc even begins 2 days after its discovery.[2]

The body was also one of the first known near-Earth asteroids. Its discovery happened just two days after it had passed {{convert|0.07984|AU|km|abbr=on|lk=off|sigfig=3}} from Earth on one of its closest approaches ever computed.[16] It was then tracked for more than a month, but was not seen again until its next close approach in 1992, when it was recovered by the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia.[2] Its minimum orbit intersection distance with Earth is now {{convert|0.0904|AU|km|abbr=on|sigfig=3}}.

Physical characteristics

The stony S-type asteroid is also classified as a transitional C/X-type according to observations by the NASA IRTF telescope.[6] A rotational lightcurve for this asteroid was obtained by American astronomer Brian Skiff from photometric observations made in June 2011. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of {{val|2.855|0.001}} hours with a brightness variation of 0.15 magnitude ({{small|U=3}}).{{efn|name=lcdb-Skiff-2011}} The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 1.88 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 16.0.[4]
