698 Ernestina (prov. designation: Шаблон:Mp or Шаблон:Mp) is a background asteroid, approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter, located in the outer regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 5 March 1910, by German astronomer Joseph Helffrich at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory. The presumed carbonaceous C-type asteroid has a rotation period of 5.0 hours. It was named after Ernst Wolf, son of German astronomer and prolific discoverer of minor planets, Max Wolf.

Orbit and classification

Ernestina is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements. It orbits the Sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.5–3.2 AU once every 4 years and 10 months (1,773 days; semi-major axis of 2.87 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.11 and an inclination of 12° with respect to the ecliptic. The asteroid was first observed as Шаблон:Mp at Heidelberg Observatory on 28 November 1908. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation on 5 March 1910.

Naming

This minor planet was named after Ernst Wolf, son of German astronomer Max Wolf (1863–1932), who has discovered many asteroids at Heidelberg including some of the first near-Earth objects and Jupiter trojans. The Шаблон:MoMP was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (Шаблон:Small).

Physical characteristics

Ernestina is an assumed carbonaceous C-type asteroid. In a taxonomic classification based on MOVIS near-infrared colors, the asteroid's preliminary determined Cgx-type was ultimately rejected and its final class changed to "undefined" (U). MOVIS data has been obtained by the VISTA Hemisphere Survey using the VISTA telescope at Paranal Observatory in Chile.

Rotation period

In October 2005, a rotational lightcurve of Ernestina was obtained from photometric observations by an international collaboration led by Donald Pray at Carbuncle Hill Observatory Шаблон:Obscode. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of Шаблон:Val hours with a brightness variation of Шаблон:Val magnitude (Шаблон:Small). Alternative period determinations in ascending order include: Шаблон:Val by Gordana Apostolovska in 2011 (Шаблон:Small), Шаблон:Val by Laurent Bernasconi in 2002 (Шаблон:Small), Шаблон:Val by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in 2010 (Шаблон:Small), Шаблон:Val by René Roy in 2017 (Шаблон:Small), Шаблон:Val by David Polishook in 2005 (Шаблон:Small), and Шаблон:Val by Violeta Ivanova in 2002 (Шаблон:Small).

Poles

Two lightcurves, published in 2016, using modeled photometric data from the Lowell Photometric Database (LPD) and other sources, gave a concurring sidereal period of (Шаблон:Val) and (Шаблон:Val) hours, respectively. Each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (213.0°, −66.0°) and (76.0°, −49.0°), as well as (282.0°, −79.0°) and (114.0°, −45.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β), respectively.

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), Ernestina measures (Шаблон:Val), (Шаблон:Val) and (Шаблон:Val) kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of (Шаблон:Val), (Шаблон:Val) and (Шаблон:Val), respectively. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.1064 and a diameter of 26.92 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.9. The WISE team also published an alternative mean-diameter (Шаблон:Val) and an albedo of (Шаблон:Val).
