Elpis , minor planet designation : 59 Elpis , is a large main belt asteroid that orbits the Sun with a period of 4.47 years. It is a C-type asteroid , meaning that it is very dark and carbonaceous in composition. In the Tholen scheme it has a classification of CP, while Bus and Binzen class it as type B.[6]
Elpis was discovered by Jean Chacornac from Paris , on September 12, 1860. It was Chacornac's sixth and final asteroid discovery.
A controversy arose over the naming of Elpis. Urbain Le Verrier , director of the Paris Observatory , at first refused to allow Chacornac to name the object, because Leverrier was promoting a plan to reorganize asteroid nomenclature by naming them after their discoverers, rather than mythological figures. A protest arose among astronomers. At the Vienna Observatory , Edmund Weiss , who had been studying the asteroid, asked the observatory's director, Karl L. Littrow , to name it. Littrow chose Elpis , a Greek personification of hope , in reference to the favorable political conditions in Europe at the time. In 1862, Leverrier permitted Chacornac to choose a name, and he selected "Olympia" at the suggestion of John Russell Hind .[7] [8]
Elpis has been studied by radar .[9]
