Английская Википедия:1397 Umtata
1397 Umtata, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is an asteroid from the background population of the asteroid belt's central region, approximately 21 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by South-African astronomer Cyril Jackson at the Union Observatory in Johannesburg on 9 August 1936.[1] The asteroid was named after the South-African town of Mthatha, formerly known as Umtata.[2]
Orbit and classification
Umtata is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population.[3] It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.0–3.4 AU once every 4 years and 5 months (1,603 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.[4]
The asteroid was first identified as Шаблон:Mp at the Lowell Observatory in April 1931. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Johannesburg.[1]
Physical characteristics
The asteroid's spectral type is unknown. The Lightcurve Data Base assumes an S- or C-type to be equally likely, using an average albedo of 0.10 (see below).[5]Шаблон:Efn
Rotation period
In May 1984, a rotational lightcurve of Umtata was obtained from photometric observations by American astronomer Richard Binzel. Analysis of the fragmentary lightcurve gave a rotation period of 30 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.13 magnitude (Шаблон:Small).[6] As of 2017, no secure period has been obtained.[5]
Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Umtata measures between 20.35 and 22.895 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.0794 and 0.112.[7][8][9]
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.10 – a compromise value between the stony (0.20) and carbonaceous asteroid's, both abundant in the main belt's central region – and derives a diameter of 20.40 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.57.[5]
Naming
This minor planet was named after South-African town of Mthatha, formerly known as Umtata. It is the capital town of the OR Tambo District Municipality and the King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality.[2] The official Шаблон:MoMP was published by the Minor Planet Center in April 1953 (Шаблон:Small).[10]
