2169 Taiwan, provisional designation 1964 VP1, is a carbonaceous Astridian asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 17 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 9 November 1964, by astronomers at the Purple Mountain Observatory near Nanking, China.[13] It was named for Taiwan.[2]

Orbit and classification

[edit]

Taiwan is a member of the Astrid family (515), a smaller asteroid family of nearly 500 carbonaceous asteroids. The family is located in the outermost central main-belt, near a prominent Kirkwood gap, that marks the 5:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter, and divides the asteroid belt into a central and outer part.[4][14][15]: 23 

Taiwan orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–2.9 AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,703 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.05 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

The body's observation arc begins with its first identification as 1938 DV1atHeidelberg Observatory in February 1938, almost 27 years prior to its official discovery observation at Nanking.[13]

Physical characteristics

[edit]

In the SMASS classification, and according to PanSTARRS photometric survey, Taiwan is a carbonaceous C-type asteroid.[1][12]

Rotation period

[edit]

In September 2010, a rotational lightcurveofTaiwan was obtained from photometric observations in the R-band by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 7.252 hours with a brightness variation of 0.17 magnitude (U=2).[11]

Diameter and albedo

[edit]

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Taiwan measures between 16.52 and 19.263 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.042 and 0.085.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 14.39 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.94.[3]

Naming

[edit]

This minor planet was named after the Taiwan Province.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 February 1980 (M.P.C. 5184).[16]
