1793 Zoya, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is a stony Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 9 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 28 February 1968, by Russian astronomer Tamara Smirnova at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula, and named after World War II partisan Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya.

Orbit and classification

Zoya is a member of the Flora family, a large group of stony S-type asteroids in the inner main-belt. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.0–2.4 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,211 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic.

First identified as Шаблон:Mp at Johannesburg, ZoyaШаблон:'s first used observation was taken at Uccle Observatory in 1933, when it was identified as Шаблон:Mp, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 35 years prior to its official discovery observation.

Physical characteristics

Rotation period

In May 2008, a rotational lightcurve of Zoya was obtained from photometric observations taken by astronomer James W. Brinsfield Шаблон:Obscode, giving a rotation period of 5.753 hours with a brightness variation of 0.40 magnitude (Шаблон:Small), superseding a previous period of 7.0 hours obtained by Claes-Ingvar Lagerkvist in 1978 (Шаблон:Small). Modeled lightcurves published in 2016, gave a period of 5.751872 and 5.75187, respectively (Шаблон:Small).

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Zoya measures 8.35 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an albedo of 0.334, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora, the largest member and namesake of this asteroid family – and calculates a diameter of 9.41 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.3.

Naming

This minor planet was named in memory of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya (1923–1941), Hero of the Soviet Union, partisan who died at the age of 18 during World War II in the Great Patriotic War. The minor planets 2072 Kosmodemyanskaya and 1977 Shura were named in honour of her mother and brother. The official Шаблон:MoMP was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 July 1972 (Шаблон:Small).
