78816 Caripito (provisional designation 2003 PZ9 asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt , approximately 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) in diameter. The asteroid was discovered on 4 August 2003, by American amateur astronomer and professor of geophysics, Joseph Dellinger at the Needville Observatory in Texas, United States.[1] Caripito in Venezuela.[2]
Orbit and classification [ edit ]
Caripito is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population .[4] [5] outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.5–3.8 AU semi-major axis of 3.15 AU ). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.22 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic .[3] precovery , published by the Digitized Sky Survey , was taken at Palomar Observatory in September 1953, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 50 years prior to its official discovery observation.[1]
This minor planet is named for the Venezuelan town of Caripito in the northeastern Monagas State . It was the place where the parents of the discoverer, Thomas Baynes Dellinger (born 1926) and María de la Garza Cantú (born 1928), met in 1949. At the time, the town was a base camp for the country's rich Quiriquire oil field.[2] Minor Planet Center on 18 September 2005 (M.P.C. 54829[7]
Physical characteristics [ edit ]
Caripito's spectral type is unknown. It is likely of a carbonaceous rather than of a silicaceous composition due to its low albedo.
Diameter and albedo [ edit ]
According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Caripito measures 5.3 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.052.[6] absolute magnitude of 15.4.[1] [3] lightcurve of Caripito has been obtained from photometric observations. The body's rotation period , pole and shape remain unknown.[3] [8]
