The 2005 encounter
*
3295 test particles
Path of secondary: 2005.19-2005.29
*The Lehto & Valtonen model predicted that the 2005 encounter would be at low velocity and distant from the centre of the accretion disk.
üA long delay from plane-crossing to optical flare.
üA rather poorly defined maximum due to the encounter geometry.
üA large advance in the date of the optical flare.
