Abstract
⺠2009 BD is a small near Earth object with an Earth-like orbit. ⺠We obtained new astrometry of the object at two oppositions. ⺠We used the astrometry to detect the action of radiation pressure on the object. ⺠From the radiation pressure detection we estimated the density of the object. ⺠The object turns out to be of natural origin.
