1436 Salonta, provisional designation 1936 YA, is a dark background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 60 kilometers in diameter. Discovered by György Kulin at the Konkoly Observatory in 1936, the asteroid was later named for the Romanian city of Salonta, the birthplace of the discoverer.

Discovery

Salonta was discovered on 11 December 1936, by Hungarian astronomer

Johannesburg Observatory in March 1933.[15]

Orbit and classification

Salonta is a non-

background population.[4] It orbits the Sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 3.0–3.3 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,038 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.06 and an inclination of 14° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The body's observation arc begins at the discovering Konkloy Observatory in January 1937, about one month after its official discovery observation.[15]

Physical characteristics

Salonta has been characterized as a dark and primitive P-type asteroid by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).[9] It is also an assumed carbonaceous C-type asteroid.[3]

Rotation period

In 2007 and 2008, three rotational

U=3/3/3).[12][13][a]

Spin axis

In 2016, a lightcurve of Salonta has also been modeled using data from the Uppsala Asteroid Photometric Catalogue, the Palomar Transient Factory survey, and from individual observers. Modelling gave a concurring sidereal period of 8.86985 hours as well as two spin axis of (223.0°, 18.0°) and (57.0°, 35°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).[16]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.028 and 0.05.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.0339 and a diameter of 62.90 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.3.[3]
