Caption: Figure 7.

The observations of 4953 on 2024 October 31, from 00:45:14 to 07:24:23. (Top) The fitted curve to the observations is from Equation (1). (Bottom) Subtraction of the asteroid’s linear motion from the overall fit. (Inset) The trail of 4953 across the sky for all eight spline-interpolated observations is denoted with green circles. Here, R.A. is decreasing as shown in the red region of Figure 2, for which we observe only a short time frame of ∼7 hr.
