László Kiss at Konkoly's Piszkéstető Station northeast of Budapest, Hungary.[8] The asteroid was named after the Serbian town of Horgoš.[2]
Orbit and classification
Horgos is a non-
background population. It orbits the Sun in the central main belt at a distance of 2.1–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 1 month (1,501 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 1° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
The body's
Kitt Peak Observatory in November 1995, or 29 months prior to its official discovery observation at Piszkéstető.[8]
Physical characteristics
Horgos has been characterized as a stony
PanSTARRS photometric survey.[7]
Rotation period
In January 2014, a rotational
U=2).[6]
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
albedo of 0.269.[4][5] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 2.79 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 15.14.[3]
