Roxane (minor planet designation : 317 Roxane ) is an asteroid from the asteroid belt approximately 19 km in diameter . It was discovered by Auguste Charlois from Nice on September 11, 1891. The name was chosen by F. Bidschof, an assistant at the Vienna Observatory , at Charlois' request; Bidschof chose to name it after Roxana , the wife of Alexander the Great , and at first used the spelling "Roxana".[2] [3] [4]
In 2008, a team identified Roxane as the closest known spectroscopic match for the Peña Blanca Spring meteorite that landed in a swimming pool in Texas in 1946. There is a possibility, therefore, that 317 Roxane is from the same parent object as this meteorite.[5]
Satellite [ edit ]
In 2009, a team using the Gemini North adaptive optics telescope discovered a moon orbiting Roxane. The moon is named Olympias , after the mother of Alexander the Great who was the king of Macedonia and husband of Roxana. Prior to its naming, the moon was provisionally named S/2009 (317) 1 .[6] [7]
