1021 Flammario, provisional designation 1924 RG, is a dark background

rotation period of 12.16 hours.[4]

Orbit and classification

Flammario is a non-

semi-major axis of 2.74 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.29 and an inclination of 16° with respect to the ecliptic.[3]

The asteroid was first observed as A910 CE at Taunton Observatory (803) in February 1910. The body's observation arc begins at the Pulkovo Observatory near Saint Petersburg, Russia, in January 1928, more than four years after its official discovery observation at Heidelberg.[1]

Physical characteristics

In the

Tholen taxonomy. (The SMASS taxonomic scheme classifies all F-types as B-type asteroids).[3][4] More recent polarimetric observations also characterized the asteroid as a dark F-type.[20]

Rotation period

Several rotational

Poles

In 2016, a modeled lightcurve using photometric data from various sources, rendered a similar sidereal period of 12.15186 hours and two spin axes of (32.0°, 22.0°) and (216.0°, 55.0°) in ecliptic coordinates.[18]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.04 and 0.05.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][14]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.0458 and a diameter of 99.39 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 8.98.[4]

Mass, density and porosity

Fienga et al. estimated the mass of Flammario as (8.6 ± 3.87/2.84)×1017 kg, with a theoretical bulk density of 1.606 ± 0.722/0.529 g/cm3.

Small Solar System bodies may have 20% of more porosity (which decreases with the size of the body due to self-gravity). The carbonaceous outer-belt asteroids typically show a higher macroporosity than the basaltic, stony asteroids from the inner regions of the asteroid belt.[22]

Naming

This

H 98). The lunar crater Flammarion as well as the crater Flammarion on Mars were also named in his honor.[2]
