2010 Chebyshev, provisional designation 1969 TL4, is a rare-type carbonaceous

Bella Burnasheva at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula.[4] It was named for mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev.[2]

Classification and orbit

Chebyshev orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.5–3.7 AU once every 5 years and 5 months (1,983 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The asteroid was first identified as 1931 VA at Lowell Observatory in October 1931, extending the body's observation arc by 38 years prior to its official discovery observation at Nauchnyj.[4]

Physical characteristics

Spectral type

In the

Tholen classification, Chebyshev is a rare BU: type, a variation of the carbonaceous B-type asteroids.[1]

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the

albedo of 0.065.[3] Chebyshev has an absolute magnitude of 11.62.[1]

Lightcurve

As of 2017, Chebyshev'

rotation period and shape remain unknown.[1][5]

Naming
