16525 Shumarinaiko (
Lake Shumarinai.[2] Its sub-kilometer sized minor-planet moon
was discovered in 2013.
Orbit and classification
Shumarinaiko is a member of the
405),[3][4] the largest asteroid family of the main belt, consisting of stony and carbonaceous subfamilies. The family, named after 44 Nysa, is located in the inner belt near the Kirkwood gap (3:1 orbital resonance with Jupiter), a depleted zone that separates the central main belt.[13]
It orbits the Sun in the inner asteroid belt at a distance of 2.1–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 9 months (1,358 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.14 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
The body's observation arc begins with a precovery from the Digitized Sky Survey. It was taken at Palomar Observatory in March 1950, almost 41 years prior to the asteroid's official discovery observation at Kitami in 1991.[12]
Physical characteristics
Shumarinaiko is an assumed stony S-type asteroid.[3]
Rotation period
In January 2013, a rotational
A low brightness amplitude typically indicates that the body is rather spherical in shape.Moon
During the photometric observation by Warner and Coley in January 2013 (see above), mutual
occultation and eclipsing events revealed that Shumarinaiko is a synchronous binary asteroid with an elongated minor-planet moon in orbit. The satellite, provisionally designated S/2013 (16525) 1, seems to be tidally locked to its orbital period of 14.409 hours. It measures least 16% of its primary (Ds/Dp of <0.16±0.02),[6][a] which translates into a diameter of approximately 830 meters.[5] There are more than 100 binary asteroids
known to exist in the asteroid belt.
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
albedo of 0.306,[7][8] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 5.66 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 13.6.[3]
