3752 Camillo is a inclined asteroid, classified as near-Earth object of the Apollo group, approximately 2.3 kilometers (1.4 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 15 August 1985, by astronomers Eleanor Helin and Maria Barucci using a 0.9-metre (35 in) telescope at the CERGA Observatory in Caussols, France. Lightcurve studies by Petr Pravec in 1998 suggest that the assumed S-type asteroid has an elongated shape and a longer-than average rotation period of 38 hours.[1][4]

Orbit

 
The orbit of Camillo is highly inclined. Vertical lines show the distance above and below the ecliptic every 30 days.

Camillo orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.99–1.8 AUえーゆー once every 20 months (614 days; semi-major axis of 1.41 AUえーゆー). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.30 and an inclination of 56° with respect to the ecliptic.[3]

Close approaches

The closest point between the orbit of the Earth and the orbit of this asteroid (Earth MOID) is currently 0.0780 AUえーゆー (11,670,000 km; 7,250,000 mi) or 30 lunar distances,[3] so Camillo does not come close enough to Earth to qualify as a potentially hazardous asteroid. It came to perihelion on 6 January 1976 and on 17 February 1976, and passed 0.08013 AUえーゆー (11,987,000 km; 7,449,000 mi) from Earth.[3]

2013 passage

Camillo came to perihelion on 27 December 2012.[3] On 12 February 2013 the asteroid passed 0.14775 AUえーゆー (22,103,000 km; 13,734,000 mi) from Earth[3] and had an apparent magnitude of 13.[4] During the 2013 passage the asteroid was studied by radar using Goldstone and Arecibo.[4]

2018 passage

On February 20, 2018, the asteroid passed by Earth. It was observed on radar by Arecibo Observatory and shown to have a long angular double-lobed shape.[11] At 0.13 AUえーゆー (19,000,000 km; 12,000,000 mi) distance its peak magnitude was about 13.

The asteroid can be seen at apparent magnitude +14, moving upwards through the image. Brightness is inverted (stars appear dark, the sky background appears light). Camillo was about 21.9 million km (13.6 million mi) from Earth at that time.[12] Right: Camillo as seen from Northolt Branch Observatories on 22 February 2018. The image is corrected for the asteroid's motion, so stars appear trailed.[13]

Naming

This minor planet was named for the son of the early Roman King Turno. "Camillo" is also the name of the discoverer's son.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 May 1989 (M.P.C. 14633).[14]
