Descripción
The major objective of EURONEAR is high precision astrometry of Near Earth NEAs Asteroids (NEAs) and Potentially Hazarduous Asteroids (PHAs) observed in a coordinated network. During the last year, the activity was conducted toward the identification of the first dedicated 1m telescope to be automated and operated by an EURONEAR Consortium, as well as promoting the project inside the community, besides conducting several observing runs on 1m class telescopes. In May 2007, 153 positions of 18 NEAs and PHAs observed at Haute Provence were accepted by the MPC and included in the NEODyS database, while some contributions were used to secure the orbit of the new asteroid 2007 JX2. This results together with some future plans for EURONEAR will be presented here.
