10551 Göteborg, provisional designation 1992 YL2, is a stony Eoan
CERGA in Caussols (010), southeastern France.[8] The asteroid was named after the Swedish city of Gothenburg (Göteborg).[2]
Orbit and classification
Göteborg is a member of the
albedo. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.8–3.2 AU once every 5 years and 2 months (1,892 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.06 and an inclination of 11° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
The body's observation arc begins 61 years prior to its official discovery observation, with a precovery taken the night before its first identification as 1931 AK at Lowell Observatory in January 1931.[8]
Physical characteristics

U=2).[6] This makes a slow rotator
, as most asteroids of this size typically have much shorter rotation periods.
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
albedo of 0.084 and 0.1169, respectively[4][5] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.14, taken from 221 Eos, the family's largest member and namesake – and calculates a diameter of 11.53 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.44.[3]
