1146 Biarmia, provisional designation 1929 JF, is a metallic background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 32 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 7 May 1929, by Russian astronomer Grigory Neujmin at the Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula.[17] The asteroid was named for the Bjarmaland mentioned in Norse sagas.

Orbit and classification

Biarmia is not a member of any known asteroid family. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.3–3.8 AU once every 5 years and 4 months (1,940 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 17° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

The asteroid was first identified as A913 KA at Winchester Observatory (

799) in June 1913. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Simeiz.[17]

Physical characteristics

Biarmia has been characterized in several observations as a metallic

Tholen classification, it is an X-type asteroid which also includes the M-types as a subgroup.[1][4]

Rotation period

The best-rated rotational

Other observations received a lower rating or have since been retracted.

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.1436 and 0.455.[5][6][7][8][9]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, a stony albedo of 0.2190 and a diameter of 31.14 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 9.80.[4]

Reanalysis found revised period of P = 5.33, which disagrees with the 5.47 found by Durkee. The curve above is plotted to the Durkee period, which does give a better fit than with 5.33 h."
