1460 Haltia, provisional designation 1937 WC, is a stony background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 24 November 1937, by Finnish astronomer Yrjö Väisälä at the Iso-Heikkilä Observatory in Turku, Finland.[10] The asteroid was named after Halti (Haltia), Finland's highest peak on the border to Norway.[2]

Orbit and classification

Haltia is a non-

background population.[3] It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.1–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 1 month (1,481 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Turku.[10]

Physical characteristics

Haltia is an assumed stony S-type asteroid.[7]

Rotation period

Two rotational

U=3-/3).[8] The Lightcurve Data Base adopts a consolidated period of 3.59 hours.[7]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese

albedo between 0.186 and 0.36.[4][5][6]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 8.97 based on an absolute magnitude of 12.6.[7]
