Английская Википедия:1834 Palach
1834 Palach, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is a stony Eoan asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 19 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 22 August 1969 by Czech astronomer Luboš Kohoutek at Bergedorf Observatory in Hamburg, Germany, and named after Czech student Jan Palach.[1][2]
Orbit and classification
Palach is a member of the Eos family (Шаблон:Small), the largest asteroid family in the outer main belt consisting of nearly 10,000 asteroids.[3][4]Шаблон:Rp
It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.8–3.2 AU once every 5 years and 3 months (1,922 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.07 and an inclination of 9° with respect to the ecliptic.[5] As no precoveries were taken, and no prior identifications were made, PalachШаблон:'s observation arc begins with its official discovery observation in 1969.[2]
Physical characteristics
Rotation period
In September 2006, a rotational lightcurve for Palach was obtained from photometric observations made by French amateur astronomer Laurent Bernasconi at St. Michel sur Meu. It gave a rotation period of 3.139 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.16 magnitude (Шаблон:Small).[6] In May 2010, a second lightcurve, obtained by Zachary Pligge at Oakley Southern Sky Observatory, Australia, gave a period of 3.1358 hours with an amplitude of 0.13 (Шаблон:Small).[7]
Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Palach measures between 17.16 and 20.23 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an albedo between 0.109 and 0.151.[8][9][10] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for Eoan asteroids of 0.14 and calculates a diameter of 19.52 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 11.3.[11]
Naming
It was named in memory of Czech student Jan Palach (1948–1969), who burned himself to death, as a protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia that followed and ended the national reform movement known as the Prague Spring.[1] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 25 August 1991 (Шаблон:Small).[12]
