2348 Michkovitch, provisional designation 1939 AA, is a presumed carbonaceous Erigone
Milorad Protić at Belgrade Observatory on 10 January 1939.[7] The asteroid was named after Serbian astronomer Vojislav Mišković.[2]
Orbit and classification
Michkovitch is a member of the
Erigone family, named after 163 Erigone, its largest member and namesake.[3] It is a rather young cluster (170–280 My) of dark carbonaceous asteroids in the inner asteroid belt, which otherwise consists mostly of stony asteroids.[8]
It orbits the Sun in the
precoveries were taken. The asteroid's observation arc starts 15 days after its official discovery with the first used observation taken at the Royal Observatory of Belgium.[7]

Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link strongly disagrees with the result obtained by the space-based observatory and assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and calculates a much larger diameter of 15.4 kilometers, as the lower the body's albedo (reflectivity), the larger its diameter at a constant absolute magnitude (brightness).[3]
