T. H. Burbine (1998) Could G-class asteroids be the parent
bodies of the CM chondrites? (Meteoritics 33-2, 1998, 253-258):
Three G asteroids have been identified through previous theoretical
studies as being likely meteorite source bodies due to their locations
near resonances. Two of these objects, 19 Fortuna and 13 Egeria, have
spectral properties that are consistent with such a linkage with CM
chondrites.
You can watch 13 Egeria 6' to the northwest of µ Arietis on November 26.
It will be as bright as mag. 9.8 and won't reach that brightness again
during the next 15 years.
µ Arietis right ascension (Nov 26, 19:00 MEZ): 2h 42.4 m
µ Arietis declination (Nov 26, 19:00 MEZ): + 20° 01'
Approximate diameter = 245 km
Mean distance a = 2.575 AU
Inclination i = 16.498°
Eccentricity e = 0.8816
Rotational period = 70.45 h

Bernd
