Caption: Figure 6.
The observations of 2024 ON on 2024 September 5–6, between 23:43:00 to 03:28:10. (Top) The fitted curve to the observations is obtained from Equation (1). (Bottom) Subtraction of the asteroid’s linear motion from the overall fit. (Inset) The trail of 2024 ON across the sky for all seven observations is denoted with green circles. Here, R.A. is decreasing as shown in the red region of Figure 1, for which we observe only a short time frame of ∼4 hr.
