2153 Akiyama, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is a carbonaceous Themistian asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 17 kilometers in diameter.

The asteroid was discovered by staff members at the George R. Agassiz Station of the Harvard College Observatory on 1 December 1978, and named Japanese astronomer Kaoru Akiyama.[1]

Orbit and classification

Akiyama is a member of the Themis family, a dynamical family of outer-belt asteroids with nearly coplanar ecliptical orbits. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.6–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 6 months (2,017 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 1° with respect to the ecliptic.[2] A first precovery was taken at Palomar Observatory in 1954, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 24 years prior to its discovery.[1]

Physical characteristics

Akiyama has been characterized as a dark C-type asteroid.[3]

Diameter and albedo

According to the space-based surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Akiyama measures 16.8 and 21.2 kilometers in diameter, respectively, with a corresponding albedo of 0.11 and 0.07.[2][4] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an intermediary albedo of 0.08 and calculates a diameter of 15.4 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.42.[3]

Rotation period

Two rotational lightcurves of Akiyama were obtained from photometric observations made at the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory in October 2010 and January 2012. They showed a rotation period of Шаблон:Val and Шаблон:Val hours with a brightness variation of 0.26 and 0.27 in magnitude, respectively (Шаблон:Small).[5]

Naming

This minor planet was named in memory of Japanese astronomer Kaoru Akiyama (1901–1970), professor at Hosei University, Tokyo, and widely known for his studies on minor planets. In collaboration with astronomer Kiyotsugu Hirayama, after whom the asteroid 1999 Hirayama is named, he made the first detailed orbital analysis of the asteroid 153 Hilda, which has a 2:3 orbital resonance with Jupiter.[6] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 November 1979 (Шаблон:Small).[7]
