Barbara (minor planet designation : 234 Barbara ) is a main belt asteroid that was discovered by German-American astronomer Christian Heinrich Friedrich Peters on August 12, 1883, in Clinton, New York . The object is orbiting the Sun with a semimajor axis of 2.385 AU , a period of 3.68 years, and an eccentricity of 0.25. The orbital plane is inclined by 15.37° to the plane of the ecliptic . It is classified as a stony S-type asteroid based upon its spectrum. The mean diameter of this object is estimated as 45.6 km.[2] It has a rotation rate of 26.5 hours, or a little over a day. It is possibly named for Saint Barbara , patron saint of mathematicians .[3] [4]
Observations of light curves and stellar occultations suggest the surface exhibits large concave areas.[5] Polarimetric study of this asteroid reveals anomalous properties that suggests the regolith consists of a mixture of low and high albedo material. This may have been caused by fragmentation of an asteroid substrate with the spectral properties of CO3/CV3 carbonaceous chondrites .[6] It is the prototype for a class of asteroids called "Barbarians" that display a strong infrared absorption band at 2μm, which is a characteristic of an FeO –enriched spinel mineral. Multiple other examples of this class have since been discovered.[7]
Observations made in 2009 with ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) suggested that 234 Barbara may be a binary asteroid ,[8] although a paper published in 2015 states that "the VLTI observations can be explained without the presence of a large satellite".[5]
