2034 Bernoulli (/bərˈnli/), provisional designation 1973 EE, is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 9 kilometers in diameter.

The asteroid was discovered on 5 March 1973, by Swiss astronomer Paul Wild at Zimmerwald Observatory near Bern, Switzerland, and named for the members of the Bernoulli family.[2][7]

Orbit and classification

Bernoulli orbits the Sun in the

Uccle Observatory in 1941.[7]

Physical characteristics

Bernoulli is an assumed, common, stony S-type asteroid.[3]

Rotation period

A rotational

U=2+).[6]

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the

albedo of 0.17 and 0.22, respectively,[4][5] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 9.4 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.5.[3]

Naming

This minor planet was named in honour of the Bernoulli family, a dynasty of mathematicians from the city of Basel, Switzerland. In particular, Jacob Bernoulli (1654–1705), founder of the calculus of variations, Daniel Bernoulli (1700–1782), co-founder of hydrodynamics, and Johann Bernoulli (1667–1748), contributor to integral calculus and the teacher of Leonhard Euler, after whom the minor planet 2002 Euler is named.[2]
