2009 Voloshina, provisional designation 1968 UL, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 27 kilometers in diameter.
It was discovered on 22 October 1968, by Russian astronomer Tamara Smirnova at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula. The asteroid was named for WWII partisan Vera Voloshina.[2][13]
Classification and orbit
Voloshina orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.7–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 6 months (2,009 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.14 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
In March 1926, Voloshina was first observed as 1926 FF at
Physical characteristics
Voloshina has been characterized as a carbonaceous C-type asteroid by Pan-STARRS photometric survey.[12]

Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0487 and calculates a diameter of 34.67 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.2.[7]
An occultation of a star by 2009 Voloshina was observed in 2021.
