5474 Gingasen, provisional designation Шаблон:Mp, is a Vestian asteroid and suspected binary system[1] from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 6 kilometers in diameter.
It was discovered on 3 December 1988, by Japanese amateur astronomers Tetsuya Fujii and Kazuro Watanabe at Kitami Observatory, Japan.[2] It is named for the "Gingasen" railroad track in Japan.[3]
Classification and orbit
Gingasen is a stony S-type asteroid and member of the Vesta family. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.2–2.5 AU once every 3 years and 8 months (1,344 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.07 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic.[4] First identified as Шаблон:Mp at Alma-Ata (Tian Shan Observatory) in Kazakhstan, GingasenШаблон:'s first used observation was taken in 1971, when it was identified as Шаблон:Mp at Cerro El Roble Station in Chile, extending the body's observation arc by 17 years prior to its official discovery observation.[2]
Physical characteristics
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Gingasen measures 5.05 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has a high albedo of 0.480,[5] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and derives a diameter of 6.68 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 13.28.[6]
Rotation period
Four rotational lightcurves of Gingasen were obtained by Petr Pravec, David Higgins and Pedro Sada in 2008, as well as from the Palomar Transient Factory in 2010. The lightcurves gave a well-defined rotation period of 3.624 to 3.628 hours with a brightness variation of 0.11–0.18 in magnitude (Шаблон:Small),[1][7][8]Шаблон:Efn superseding a previous result by Laurent Bernasconi (Шаблон:Small).[9]
Suspected binary
During the photometric observations in 2008, the astronomers came across strong evidence that Gingasen is likely an asynchronous binary asteroid with an asteroid moon orbiting it every 3.1095 hours. However, no mutual occultation/eclipse events were observed.[1][10]
Naming
This minor planet was named after a railroad track in Hokkaido. Gingasen means "Milky Way". This 150-km public railroad connects the island's eastern cities. Each station along the line is named for a constellation.[2] The approved naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 4 April 1996 (Шаблон:Small).[11]
