Discovery :

is an asteroid, of 22nd magnitude, discovered by a team using the 3.6-m Canada-France- Hawaii and 2.2-m University of Hawaii telescopes on Mauna Kea on 2003 February 8.34. It is in a 21 year orbit, with perihelion at 4.20 au and an eccentricity of 0.44. It was at perihelion in September and faded. [MPEC 2002-G16, 2003 April 3, 1-month orbit] The orbit is unusual, crossing that of Jupiter and Saturn, both of which it can approach to within 1 au.

Recovery: CBET 5186

In October 2022 Michael Kelley reported that it showed a tail in ZTF images taken taken with the 1.2-m Samuel Oschin Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory during 2022 Sept. 17-27 UT. Sam Dean then noted that images since at least 2018 showed considerable variation in brightness. It was subsequently designated 2022 B5.  Recent ZTF observations of the object date back

to 2022 Sept. 17, and a review of those data show that the tail is visible in observations starting on Sept. 20A tail was first visible.
