(481482) 2007 CA19is a sub-kilometerasteroid,classified asnear-Earth objectandpotentially hazardous asteroidof theApollo group.It led the impact hazard list, with aTorino Scaleimpact risk value of 1, for one week, ending on February 19, 2007. Before and after2007 CA19,99942 Apophiswas the object with the highestPalermo Scalerating. With an observation arc of 4.8 days, it had a Palermo Scale of −0.88.[2]

2007 CA19was discovered on February 11, 2007, by theCatalina Sky Surveyat the University ofUniversity of Arizona.The object is estimated at 966 metres in diameter with a mass of a 1.2x1012kg. Until February 15, it had an impact probability of 1/625000 for the day March 14, 2012.[2]Additional observations through February 19 decreased the impact probability to ~1 in 300 million, making it of negligible concern. It was removed from theSentry Risk Tableon February 22, 2007.[3]

2007 CA19passed about 0.007AU(1,000,000km;650,000mi) from Venus on July 6, 1946.[1]
