4659 Roddenberry , provisional designation 1981 EP20 , is a Nysian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt , approximately 3.6 kilometers (2.2 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 2 March 1981, by American astronomer Schelte Bus at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia.[1] S-type asteroid has an unsecured rotation period of 12 hours.[3] Gene Roddenberry .[1]
Orbit and classification
[ edit ]
Roddenberry is a core member of the Nysa family (405 [3] [4] family of stony asteroids, alternatively known as Herta family. It is part of the Nysa–Polana complex, the largest grouping of asteroids in the main-belt. The complex is typically further divided into subfamilies with different spectral properties.[9] : 23
The asteroid orbits the Sun in the inner asteroid belt at a distance of 1.8–2.9 AU semi-major axis of 2.37 AU ). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.22 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic .[2] observation arc begins with a precovery taken at Palomar Observatory in February 1977, or four years prior to its official discovery observation at Siding Spring.[1]
Physical characteristics
[ edit ]
Roddenberry is an assumed stony S-type asteroid , typical for core members of the Nysa family and in agreement with its high albedo (see below) .[3]
Rotation period
[ edit ]
In the 1990s, a fragmentary rotational lightcurve of Roddenberry was obtained from photometric observations by Richard Binzel . Lightcurve analysis gave a highly uncertain rotation period of 12 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.14 magnitude (U=1 [3] [7]
Diameter and albedo
[ edit ]
According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer , Roddenberry measures 3.622 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.193,[5] [6] Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20, and derives a diameter of 3.56 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 14.61.[3]
Naming
[ edit ]
This minor planet was named in memory of famous American screenwriter, producer and futurist, Gene Roddenberry (1921–1991), known for the Star Trek Star Trek: The Next Generation Star Trek film franchise[1] Minor Planet Center on 18 February 1992 (M.P.C. 19698[10]
