Table 1

Orbital and observability parameters for real (2020 CL1) and fictitious Venus co-orbitals. The columns give the absolute magnitude (H), semimajor axis (a), eccentricity (e), and inclination (i). The last three columns show each object’s parameters at its maximum brightness when above 20 elevation after January 2025.
