Fig. 1

Satellite-search imaging of the near-asteroid region. The image is a median combination of 15 PolyCam exposures from 10 November 2018 tracking the motion of the asteroid. This method enhances the relative detectability of satellites while suppressing the signal of stars and other background astronomical objects. The yellow circles denote distances from the Bennu center of figure. The horizontal features are due to charge smear. No satellites are apparent
