Beyond Jupiter, The World of Distant Minor Planets: (944) Hidalgo - The Mexican Centaur

JOA 2019, Vol. 9, No. 1, Page 20

Author(s): Oliver Klös

Abstract: The class of Centaurs was introduced to the world of minor planets in 1977, but the first object of this class was discovered much earlier in Hamburg, Germany. The first Centaur (944) Hidalgo, is now close to its perihelion. Several occultations by this minorplanet in the next few years could reveal more about its physical characteristics.
