Scientific paper

On 2004 June 14, Ken Pavitt, a Hampshire-based amateur astronomer, discovered a fast moving asteroid (SW40Dv). This was confirmed on the NEO Confirmation Page by Peter Birtwhistle and others and announced on MPEC 2004-L66 with the designation 2004 LA10. However, Ken does not own a telescope. He registered a few months ago with the University of Arizona's Spacewatch Fast Moving Objects (FMO) project, which is equivalent for asteroid discoverers to the SOHO archive for comet searchers, and provides an opportunity to search for NEOs (Near Earth Objects) using the World Wide Web.
