1136 Mercedes, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is a background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 26 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 30 October 1929, by Catalan astronomer Josep Comas i Solà at the Fabra Observatory in Barcelona, Spain.[1] The asteroid was named for the sister-in-law of the discoverer.[2]

Orbit and classification

Mercedes is not a member of any known asteroid family and belongs to the belt's background population.[3] It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 1.9–3.2 AU once every 4 years and 1 month (1,501 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 9° with respect to the ecliptic.[4] The body's observation arc begins at Yerkes Observatory in March 1931, more than a year after its official discovery observation at Fabra.[1]

Physical characteristics

Mercedes is an assumed S-type asteroid.[5]

Rotation period

The asteroid has an ambiguous rotation period. A lightcurve of Mercedes obtained in 1998, gave a period of 6.448 hours and a brightness variation of 0.10 magnitude (Шаблон:Small),[6] while another lightcurve from 2007, gave a much longer period of 24.64 hours with an amplitude of 0.15 (Шаблон:Small).[7] A third period of 15.6 hours is considered of poor quality (Шаблон:Small).[8]

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, Mercedes measures between 25.296 and 33.19 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.05 and 0.103.[9][10][11][12][13]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.1007 and a diameter of 25.23 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.1.[5]

Naming

This minor planet was named by Josep Comas i Solà for his sister-in-law, Mercedes. The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (Шаблон:Small).[2]
