Instruments
The observatory features four telescopes:[2]
- 60/90/180-centimetre Schmidt telescope since 1962
- 50-centimetre Cassegrain telescope since 1966
- 1-metre Ritchey–Chrétien telescope since 1974
- 40-centimetre Ritchey–Chrétien telescope since 2010
Discovery of 2022 EB5
Piszkéstető Station discovered asteroid 2022 EB5, which later impacted earth. It is only the fifth asteroid in history to have been discovered prior to impact. This puts the station in a very short list of observatories that have achieved this feat. Several asteroids impact earth every year with enough force to be detected by infrasound sensors designed to detect detonation of nuclear devices, but the vast majority of impacts are unpredicted and occur without warning.[3] Fortunately Piszkéstető Station discovered this asteroid before it impacted.[4]
Honors
The minor planet 37432 Piszkéstető was named after the station, where it was discovered by astronomers Krisztián Sárneczky and Zsuzsanna Heiner in January 2002.[1]
List of discovered minor planets
A total of 19 minor planet discoveries are credited directly to the Piszkéstető Station by the Minor Planet Center.[5]
