842 Kerstin (prov. designation: Шаблон:Mp or Шаблон:Mp) is a dark background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 1 October 1916, by German astronomer Max Wolf at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory in southwest Germany.[1] The assumed C-type asteroid has a rotation period of 18.7 hours and measures approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter. Any reference of the origin of the asteroid's name is unknown.[2]
Orbit and classification
Kerstin is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.[3][4] It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.9–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 10 months (2,127 days; semi-major axis of 3.24 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 14° with respect to the ecliptic.[5] The body's observation arc begins at Heidelberg Observatory with its official discovery observation on 1 October 1916.[1]
Naming
"Kerstin" is a German feminine first name. Any reference of this name to a person or occurrence is unknown.[2]
Unknown meaning
Among the many thousands of named minor planets, Kerstin is one of 120 asteroids for which no official naming citation has been published. All of these asteroids have low numbers between Шаблон:Mp and Шаблон:Mp and were discovered between 1876 and the 1930s, predominantly by astronomers Auguste Charlois, Johann Palisa, Max Wolf and Karl Reinmuth.[6]
Physical characteristics
Kerstin is an assumed C-type asteroid, with a low astronomical albedo (see below) comparable to fresh asphalt.[7]
Rotation period
In 2018, Czech astronomers Josef Ďurech and Josef Hanuš published a modeled lightcurve using photometric data from the Gaia spacecraft's second data release. It showed a sidereal period of Шаблон:Val hours (Шаблон:Small), and gave a spin axis at (18.0°, 78.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).[8][7]
Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), Kerstin measures (Шаблон:Val), (Шаблон:Val) and (Шаблон:Val) kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of (Шаблон:Val), (Шаблон:Val) and (Шаблон:Val), respectively.[9][10][11][12] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for a carbonaceous asteroid of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 42.23 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.6.[7] Alternative mean-diameter measurements published by the WISE team include (Шаблон:Val), (Шаблон:Val), (Шаблон:Val) and (Шаблон:Val) with corresponding albedos of (Шаблон:Val), (Шаблон:Val), (Шаблон:Val) and (Шаблон:Val).[4][7]
