1743 Schmidt, provisional designation 4109 P-L, is a dark background

rotation period of 17.5 hours.[16] It was named for the optician Bernhard Schmidt.[2]

Orbit and classification

Schmidt is a non-

semi-major axis of 2.47 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic.[3] The body's observation arc begins with its first observation as 1931 BJ at the Lowell Observatory in January 1931, more than 29 years prior to its official discovery observation at Palomar Observatory.[1]

Palomar–Leiden survey

The

survey designation "P-L" stands for "Palomar–Leiden", named after the Palomar and Leiden Observatory, which collaborated on the fruitful Palomar–Leiden survey in the 1960s. Gehrels used Palomar's Samuel Oschin telescope (also known as the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope), and shipped the photographic plates to Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory where astrometry was carried out. The trio are credited with the discovery of several thousand asteroid discoveries.[17]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.042 and 0.0603.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.0603 and a diameter of 17.28 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.48.[16]
