[Neocp_artsats] hb0009 = ZTF0IiT = ETBO, I think

[Bill Gray]

    At the very least,  hb0009 is geocentric junk :

Orbital elements:  hb0009
    Perigee 2021 Mar 19.960667 +/- 0.00179 TT = 23:03:21.6 (JD 2459293.460667)

    By default,  Find_Orb latches onto a higher geocentric orbit and
fits four observations badly.  Set a distance of 70000 km,  do a few
Herget steps and a few full steps,  and it converges to this much
more reasonable orbit.  The residuals look bad,  especially since
ATLAS tends to get tiny residuals for bright objects :

Residuals in arcseconds:
210319 T08 1.07- 1.75+    210319 T08 .384- .501+    210319 T08 .331+ .304-
210319 T08 1.14+ 1.86-    210319 T08 .131+ .226-    210319 T08 .157- .138+

    But the large residuals are entirely because this is a fast-mover.
Put the resids into along-track in seconds/cross-track in arcseconds
form,  and suddenly,  the observations seem quite reasonable :

Residuals in seconds along-track and arcseconds cross-track :
210319 T08 -.59s .117-    210319 T08 -.19s .020+    210319 T08 +.13s .080-
210319 T08 +.63s .115+    210319 T08 +78ms .026+    210319 T08 -60ms .035+

    The orbit looks like a passable match to an object found by
ZTF three months ago.  The orbit was so miserably determined that
I wasn't even sure it was geocentric,  but I added it to my list
of "betcha somebody's going to find this again someday" objects.
Not much is in orbits at this inclination with this eccentricity,
so a chance match is unlikely.

    Unless more data comes in,  I don't expect to actually find an orbit
linking ZTF0IiT = hb0009,  especially since the object is probably an
ETBO.  (Which means I could probably fit a bunch of orbits to the
current data,  and would believe none of them very much.)
