    (155140) 2005 UD (provisional designation 2005 UD) is an asteroid on an eccentric orbit, classified as a near-Earth object of the Apollo group. It was discovered on 22 October 2005, by the Catalina Sky Survey at the Catalina Station in Arizona, United States. 2005 UD is thought to be a possible fragment of 3200 Phaethon due to its similar orbit, [8] [9] although it is not dynamically associated with the Geminid meteor stream produced by Phaethon. [10] [11]

    Contents

    Due to 2005 UD's highly eccentric orbit, it experiences extreme temperature variations up to 975 K (702 °C; 1,295 °F) at perihelion, leading to thermal fracturing of its surface regolith and ejection of dust particles. [12] However, no activity from 2005 UD has been observed as of yet, though it has been suspected that it could be the inactive parent body of the Daytime Sextantids meteor shower. [7] [13] 2005 UD and Phaethon share a bluish surface color at visible wavelengths, but differ at near-infrared wavelengths where 2005 UD appears redder than Phaethon. [13]

    2005 UD will pass 0.0558  AU (8.35 million  km ) from Mars on 20 July 2024. [3]

    <span class="mw-page-title-main">Geminids</span> Meteor shower

    The Geminids are a prolific meteor shower caused by the object 3200 Phaethon, which is thought to be an Apollo asteroid with a "rock comet" orbit. This would make the Geminids, together with the Quadrantids, the only major meteor showers not originating from a comet. The meteors from this shower are slow moving, can be seen in December and usually peak around December 4–16, with the date of highest intensity being the morning of December 14. Recent showers have seen 120–160 meteors per hour under optimal conditions, generally around 02:00 to 03:00 local time. Geminids were first observed in 1862, much more recently than other showers such as the Perseids and Leonids.

    <span class="mw-page-title-main">3200 Phaethon</span> Asteroid responsible for the Geminids meteor shower

    3200 Phaethon, provisionally designated 1983 TB, is an active Apollo asteroid with an orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than any other named asteroid. For this reason, it was named after the Greek myth of Phaëthon, son of the sun god Helios. It is 5.8 km (3.6 mi) in diameter and is the parent body of the Geminids meteor shower of mid-December. With an observation arc of 35+ years, it has a very well determined orbit. The 2017 Earth approach distance of about 10 million km was known with an accuracy of ±700 m.
