A new earth-crossing asteroid of the Aten type (orbit smaller than earth's) was discovered on August 30, 1984 at Palomar. The asteroid, designated 1984 QA, is the fourth known member of the Aten type and the first discovered since 1978. The discovery of this object was the highlight of a collaboration between the JPL Asteroid Search Team and an ESA scientist, and demonstrates one aspect of an ongoing joint search effort with other Schmidt observers.
