1060 Magnolia, provisional designation 1925 PA, is a stony Florian

Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory.[18] The asteroid was named after the flowering plant magnolia.[3]

Orbit and classification

Magnolia is a member of the

semi-major axis of 2.24 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.20 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

The body's observation arc begins at Heidelberg in September 1925, or one month after its official discovery observation.[18]
