1827 Atkinson , provisional designation 1962 RK , is a background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt , approximately 9 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 7 September 1962, by IU 's Indiana Asteroid Program at Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana, United States.[4] The asteroid was named after British astronomer Robert d'Escourt Atkinson .[2]
Orbit and classification
[ edit ]
Atkinson is not a member of any known asteroid family .[5] It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.2–3.2 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,629 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.18 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic .[1]
The body's observation arc begins with its first identification as 1931 VC at Uccle Observatory in November 1931, almost 31 years prior to its official discovery observation at Goethe Link.[4]
Physical characteristics
[ edit ]
In the Tholen classification , Atkinson is similar to a dark D-type asteroid , though with an unusual spectrum (DU ).[1] This strongly disagrees with the albedo obtained by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), which indicates that is rather a stony S-type asteroid .[3]
Rotation period
[ edit ]
As of 2017, no rotational lightcurve of Atkinson has been obtained from photometric observations. The asteroid's rotation period , shape and poles remain unknown.[1] [5]
Diameter and albedo
[ edit ]
According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer , Atkinson measures 8.855 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.249.[3]
Naming
[ edit ]
This minor planet was named after British astronomer, physicist and inventor, Robert d'Escourt Atkinson (1898–1982), noted for his contributions to fundamental astronomy. Atkinson pioneered in studying nuclear energy-generation in the Sun and stars.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 15 October 1977 (M.P.C. 4236 ).[6]
