Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration
Mistake Corrected
In the image set 2011 KH4-0602-24, C. Singh & I. Singh discovered the Main Belt asteroid TOV42C. This is a preliminray discovery that requires a follow-up observation in 7-14 days. A mistake was made in listing their school. They are from K.R. Mangalam World School, Vikas Puri.
In re-checking their results, a second discovery was detected. These two students also observed the Main Belt asteroid TOV42A. This was linked to CSA1004 in their MPC report.
Remember a preliminary MBA discovery needs to be observed that second time. If it is then the Minor Planet Center changes the status from preliminary to provisional. If it is not observed a second time, it is considered to be lost. IASC monitors the second observations. If these come in, you will be notified immediately.
Congratulations!! And, sorry for the mistake. In the meanwhile...
Happy Hunting!!
