Английская Википедия:1293 Sonja
1293 Sonja, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is a stony asteroid and bright Mars-crosser from the innermost regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 7 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 26 September 1933, by Belgian astronomer Eugène Delporte at Uccle Observatory in Belgium.[1] Two nights later, Sonja was independently discovered by Soviet astronomer Grigory Neujmin at Simeiz on the Crimean peninsula. The origin of the asteroid's name is unknown.[2]
Orbit and classification
In the SMASS taxonomy, Sonja is classified as a Sq-type, an intermediary between the abundant S and rather rare Q-type asteroids. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.6–2.8 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,214 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.28 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic.[3] SonjaШаблон:'s observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Uccle, as no precoveries were taken and no prior identifications were made.[1]
Physical characteristics
Rotation period
Several well-defined rotational lightcurves of Sonja were obtained from photometric observations during 2003–2016.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Efn Light-curve analysis gave a concurring rotation period of 2.876–2.879 hours with a brightness variation between 0.14 and 0.21 magnitude.
In 2006, the first lightcurve was obtained by David Higgins (Шаблон:Small),[4] followed by Federico Manzini and Vladimir Benishek (Шаблон:Small).[5][6] Photometric observations continued in August 2008, by Petr Pravec at Ondřejov Observatory (Шаблон:Small),Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Efn and in 2016, four more lightcurves were obtained by Peter Kušnirák and Petr Pravec, as well as by Robert Stephens, Daniel Klinglesmith and Isaac Aznar (Шаблон:Small).Шаблон:EfnШаблон:EfnШаблон:EfnШаблон:Efn
Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, Sonja measures 3.65 and 7.80 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an exceptionally high albedo of 0.53 and 0.46, respectively.[7][8] This would make Sonja one of the brightest known Mars-crossing asteroids. However, the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.1226 and a diameter of 7.23 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 13.6.[9]
Naming
It is unknown as to whether the name "Sonja" refers to any known place, person or occurrence. It was speculated that "Sonja" could have been chosen based on the two letter of its provisional designation, Шаблон:Mp.[2] It is also speculated, that the name "Sonja" might have been on a list of generic German female names sent by the German ARI to several discoverers of minor planets in 1913, requesting the immediate naming of their discoveries in order to avoid confusion and possible errors (Шаблон:Small).[10]
Unknown meaning
Among the many thousands of named minor planets, Sonja is one of 120 asteroids, for which no official naming citation has been published. All of these low-numbered asteroids have numbers between Шаблон:Mp and Шаблон:Mp and were discovered between 1876 and the 1930s, predominantly by astronomers Auguste Charlois, Johann Palisa, Max Wolf and Karl Reinmuth.[11]
