2012 DA14 ‣ Discovered Feb. 23, 2012 by La Sagra Sky Survey ‣ 40m asteroid passed at ~4R ♁ on Feb. 15, 2013 (NASA/JPL, P. Chodas)

DA14: Encounter Predictions ‣ Change in rotation state ‣ Tidal disruption or mass loss ‣ Induced seismic shaking (Scheeres et al. 2005) Post-Encounter Rotation Period (hr) (Richardson et al. 1998) Max. Distance Avg. Distance Min. Distance

DA14: Spectroscopy ‣ Visible spectra: Gemini/GMOS NOT/ALFOSC ‣ Linked to CO/CV carbonaceous chondrites or FeO-bearing spinel (CAIs) (Bell 1988; Gaffey et al. 1993; Burbine et al. 2002) (Sunshine et al. 2008)

DA14: Rotational light curve Post Flyby Data from: Wise (Israel), VATT (Mt. Graham), Kitt Peak (Arizona), Hereford (Arizona), Shefford (UK), Magdalena Ridge (New Mexico) Tumbling rotation state Light curve fit: P 1 = 6.35 hr P 2 = 8.73 hr

DA14: Periodogram Analysis 8.9 hr 6.3 hr Light curve fit: P 1 = 6.35 hr P 2 = 8.73 hr Post Flyby (2013)

1998 QE DA14 ‣ Binary object passed at ~0.04 AU on May 31, 2013 ‣ Low-albedo → strong thermal emission in near-IR ‣ Phase dependent variability ‣ Passed at 4 Earth-radii on February 15, 2013 ‣ No clear evidence for spectroscopic changes ‣ Possible suggestion of change in rotation state
