Astrometry and photometry of potentially hazardous asteroid (276033) 2002 AJ129

The astrometric and photometric series of observations of potentially hazardous asteroid (276033) 2002 AJ129 were obtained with MTM-500M telescope of Pulkovo Observatory in the period of its close approach to the Earth on February 4, 2018. The orbital evolution was studied and the influence of non-gravitational effects (solar radiation pressure and the Yarkovsky effect) was estimated. The axial rotation period (P ​= ​3.9222 ​± ​0.0008 ​h) of the asteroid and the color indices (B–V ​= ​0.687 ​± ​0.050, V–R ​= ​0.405 ​± ​0.027, R–I ​= ​0.178 ​± ​0.044) were determined from the photometric series of observations. •The astrometric and photometric series of observations of (276033) 2002 AJ129 asteroid were obtained.•The orbital evolution (276033) 2002 AJ129 asteroid was studied.•The influence of solar radiation pressure and the Yarkovsky effect on (276033) 2002 AJ129 asteroid was estimated.•The axial rotation period of (276033) 2002 AJ129 asteroid was confirmed.•The color indices of (276033) 2002 AJ129 asteroid were determined.
