Abstract

Observations of potentially hazardous asteroid 2017 VR12 during its close approach to the Earth were made at Pulkovo Observatory via ZA-320M telescope at the end of February and the beginning of March 2018. Orbital elements of the asteroid were improved basing on the obtained astrometric data. The orbital evolution was studied and the influence of non-gravitational effects was estimated. The axial rotation period of the asteroid was determined from photometric data.
