New precoveries found for 2024 AA2 and 2025 AK2
Abstract
This poster presents an end-to-end asteroid precovery pipeline that back-propagates initial orbit solutions, filters viable observation windows, queries archival imagery, and applies synthetic tracking to recover faint objects. The pipeline was validated on 2024 YR4 and demonstrated new precoveries of 2024 AA2 and 2025 AK2.
