1930 Lucifer, provisional designation 1964 UA, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 34 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 29 October 1964, by American astronomer Elizabeth Roemer at the Flagstaff station (NOFS) of the United States Naval Observatory (USNO).[14] It is named after Lucifer, the "shining one" or "light-bearer" from the Hebrew Bible.

Orbit

Lucifer orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.5–3.3 AU once every 4 years and 11 months (1,802 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.14 and an inclination of 14° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] It was first identified as 1954 SQ at Goethe Link Observatory in 1954, extending the body's observation arc by 10 years prior to its official discovery observation at NOFS.[14]

Physical characteristics

Spectral type

In the

SMASS taxonomy, Lucifer is a Cgh-type that belongs to the carbonaceous C-group of asteroids.[1]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.05 and 0.1058.[4][5][6][7][8][9] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0886 and calculates a diameter of 26.90 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.1.[3]

Rotation and pole axis

In October 2003, a rotational

U=3).[12]

In January 2005, observations by astronomer Horacio Correia gave a concurring period of 13.054 hours and an amplitude of 0.22 magnitude (

32.0°,17.0°).[10]
