2011 Veteraniya, provisional designation 1970 QB1, is a stony Vestian
Classification and orbit
Veteraniya is a member of the Vesta family. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.0–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 8 months (1,347 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The first precovery was taken at Palomar Observatory in 1950, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 20 years prior to its discovery.[7]
Physical characteristics
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL) and Pan-STARRS' large-scale survey classify it as a S-type and V-type asteroid, respectively.[3][6]
According to the survey carried out by the
NEOWISE mission of NASA's space-based Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid's surface has an exceptionally high albedo of 0.46 and a corresponding diameter of 5.2 kilometers,[4] while CALL assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20. CALL therefore calculates a larger diameter of 7.8 kilometers, as the lower the albedo (reflectivity), the higher the body's diameter at a constant absolute magnitude (brightness).[3]
