1500 Jyväskylä (jyvæs-kylæ), provisional designation 1938 UH, is a stony Florian

Turku Observatory in Southwest Finland.[8] It was named for the Finnish town Jyväskylä.[2]

Classification and orbit

Jyväskylä is a member of the Flora family, a large collisional group of stony asteroids. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.8–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,227 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 at Turku, 3 weeks prior to its official discovery observation.[8]
