Abstract
We present the discovery of activity originating from quasi-Hilda Object 2018 CZ16, a finding stemming from the Citizen Science project Active Asteroids. For 2018 CZ16 we identified a broad (∼60°) but short (∼5″) tail in archival Blanco 4 m data from Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile, (CTIO) Dark Energy Camera images from UT 2018 May 15, 17 and 18. Activity occurred 2 months prior to perihelion, consistent with sublimation-driven activity.
