1111 Reinmuthia (

rotation period of 4.02 hours and measures approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) in diameter.[7] It was later named in honor of Karl Reinmuth, the discoverer himself.[2]

Orbit and classification

Reinmuthia is a non-

semi-major axis of 2.99 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The body's observation arc begins at Heidelberg with its official discovery observation.[3]

Physical characteristics

Lightcurve
-based 3D inversion model of Reinmuthia

In the

spectral type, closest to that of a dark F-type and somewhat similar to an X-type asteroid. The spectrum had also been flagged as "unusual" and "nosy" by Tholen (FXU:).[1]

Rotation period

Rotational

Poles and shape

Lightcurve inversion also modeled the body's shape and

US Naval Observatory, the Uppsala Asteroid Photometric Catalogue, the Palomar Transient Factory and the Catalina Sky Survey gave a similar sidereal period of 4.007347 hours and two spin axes of (356.0°, 68.0°) and (153.0°, 78.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β). The body's very elongated shape had already been indicated by the high brightness variation measured during the photometric observations.[9]

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the Japanese

albedo of 0.167.[6] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and derives a diameter of 41.26 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.65.[7]
