Artificial satellite observations in planetary defense data
Bill Gray
Planetary defense surveys routinely find artificial objects in their data. Some move slowly enough to mimic natural objects. It is desirable to keep track of them, so that they won't be erroneously reported as minor planets, and so that follow-time isn't wasted on them. The methods and problems involved in tracking them will be discussed.
