Item Open Access Astrometric observations near the maximun approach of the Potencially Hazardous Asteroid (66391) 1999 KW4(The Astronomer's Telegram, 2019-08-08) Ricra, J.; Zegarra-Valles, M.; Baella, Nobar; Villanueva, R.Our team decided to collaborate with the campaign to observe the maximum approach of the PHA (66391) 1999 KW4, organized by the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN). The observations were made from CIEASEST, in the Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga de Ica, Peru (Long. 75 44 12.5 W, Lat. 14 05 21.1 S, Alt. 401 m). A 60 cm Nishimura telescope (f10) and a ZWO ASI 071MC camera were used. The night of the maximum approach (May 25, 2019) we had cloudy skies; however, the night of May 26-27 we had clear skies and we were able to take 147 images with a exposure time of 4 seconds. Dimension 4 software was used to synchronize our time with special purpose Internet Time Servers, ensuring less than one second accuracy. The astrometric measurements were made with the Astrometrica software, using between 15 and 25 stars in the field identified by means of the Gaia DR2 catalog.Item Open Access Astrometric observations of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 near its maximum approach to earth(The Astronomer's Telegram, 2020-05-13) Villanueva, R.; Ricra, J.; Zegarra-Valles, M.; Baella, Nobar; Santivanez, J.Our team presents astrometric measurements of the PHA (52768) 1998 OR2 obtained close to its maximum approach to Earth. The observations were made from Observatorio Planetario Moche, located in Trujillo, Peru (Long. 79 00 39.2 W, Lat. 08 06 47.9 S, Alt. 48 m), on April 23, 24, 25 and 29, 2020. It is important to note that April 29's measurements were obtained approximately 5 hours before the asteroid's closest approach to Earth. A Celestron NexStar 11 GPS telescope and a ZWO ASI 071MC camera (without filter) were used. In addition, Dimension 4 software was employed to synchronize our time with special purpose Internet Time Servers. A total of 240 images were obtained, of which 19 were selected for presenting better ellipticity and FWHM values. The astrometric measurements were made with the Astrometrica software, using between 13 and 31 field stars identified by means of the Gaia DR1 catalog.Item Open Access OAUNI photometry of SN2022jli(R. E. Rutledge, 2022-07-24) Pereyra, Antonio; Tello, J.; Zevallos, M.; de Almeida, L.; Espinoza, M.; Alvarado, D.Multiband photometry of Type Ic SN2022jli (TNSTR-2022-1198, TNSCR-2022-1261) on 2022-07-01 (UT) was gathered with the OAUNI 51cm telescope (arXiv:1512.03104) at Huancayo Observatory, Peru. CCD imaging using VRI filters was performed under non-photometric conditions (seeing ~2.3") and airmass lower than 1.3. Total integration times of (60x20s=1200s) for V, R and I filters yielded: Date (UT) filter mag 2022-07-01.401 V 14.64 +/- 0.04 2022-07-01.359 R 14.52 +/- 0.05 2022-07-01.381 I 14.06 +/- 0.05. UCAC4 field stars were used for the zero point calibration. Caution must be taken in SN2022jli magnitudes for possible contamination with the host galaxy. Following GELATO and SNID classification (TNSCR-2022-1261), our measurements are aprox. 52 days after maximum brightness. The OAUNI project is supported by UNI, TWAS, IGP and ProCiencia-Concytec (Convenio 133-2020 Fondecyt).
