1062 Ljuba, provisional designation 1925 TD, is a carbonaceous background

rotation period of 33.8 hours.[4]

Orbit and classification

Ljuba is a non-

semi-major axis of 3 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.07 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic.[3]

The asteroid was first observed as A904 TB at

Heidelberg Observatory in October 1904. The body's observation arc also begins at Heidelberg in February 1929, or 16 months after its official discovery observation at Simeiz.[1]

Physical characteristics

In the

Tholen classification, Ljuba is a carbonaceous C-type asteroid.[4]

Rotation period

In October 2003, a rotational

U=1/2/1).[13][14] While not being a slow rotator
, Ljuba's period is significantly longer than that for most other asteroids, which rotate every 2–20 hours once around their axis.

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.060 and 0.12.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.0668 and a diameter of 55.10 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 9.85.[4]

Naming

This

(1086) were also named after Soviet female paratroopers, namely, Tamara Ivanova (1912–1936) and Nata Babushkina (1915–1936), respectively.[2]
