3277 Aaronson , provisional designation 1984 AF1 , is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt , approximately 20 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by American astronomer Edward Bowell at Lowell's Anderson Mesa Station , near Flagstaff, Arizona, on 8 January 1984, and named in memory of astronomer Marc Aaronson .[8]
Orbit and classification
[ edit ]
The C-type asteroid orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.3–4.0 AU eccentricity of 0.27 and an inclination of 9° with respect to the ecliptic .[1] precovery was obtained at Goethe Link Observatory in 1962, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 22 years prior to its official discovery observation at Anderson Mesa.[8]
Physical characteristics
[ edit ]
Rotation period
[ edit ]
In November 2010, a rotational lightcurve for this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations made at the U.S. Shadowbox Observatory in Carmel, Indiana. It rendered a rotation period of ± 0.05magnitude (U=2+ [6]
Diameter and albedo
[ edit ]
Based on NASA's space-based WISE and its subsequent NEOWISE mission, the asteroid has an albedo of 0.11 and 0.12, and a diameter of 19.9 and 20.0 kilometers, respectively,[4] [5] Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL) assumes a lower albedo of 0.06, which translates into a larger diameter of 26.6 kilometers, as the lower the albedo (reflectivity), the higher the body's diameter, for a given absolute magnitude (brightness).[3]
Naming
[ edit ]
This minor planet was named in memory of American astronomer Marc Aaronson (1950–1987), killed in the dome of the 4-meter Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope of the Kitt Peak National Observatory . His fields of research included the detection the decelerative effect of the Virgo cluster on the Hubble flow , observations of carbon stars in the globular clusters in the Magellanic clouds, and measurement of the large velocity dispersion in dwarf spheroidal galaxies , suggesting that all galaxies do have dark matter halos .[2] Minor Planet Center on 11 July 1987 (M.P.C. 12016) .[9]
