1219 Britta, provisional designation 1932 CJ, is a stony background

rotation period of 5.57 hours.[4] Any reference of its name to a person is unknown.[2]

Orbit and classification

Britta is a non-

402), a giant asteroid family and the largest family of stony asteroids in the main-belt.[4]

It orbits the Sun in the

semi-major axis of 2.21 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.[3]

The asteroid was first observed as A904 SB at Heidelberg Observatory in September 1904. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Heidelberg in February 1932.[1]

Naming

This minor planet is named after a common German female name. Any reference of this name to a person or occurrence is unknown.[2]

Unknown meaning

Spin axis

Modeled photometric data from the Lowell Photometric Database (LPD) and the robotic BlueEye600 Observatory, gave a concurring period of 5.57556 and 5.57557 hours, respectively.[15][16] Both studies determined two spin axes of (72.0°, −66.0°) and (241.0°, −66.0°), as well as (61.0°, −2.0°) and (223.0°, −68.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).[15][16]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.223 and 0.346.[6][7][8] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.2629 and a diameter of 11.31 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.8.[4]
