Hypatia (
Hypatia of Alexandria. Based upon the spectrum, it is classified as a C-type asteroid[4] and is probably composed of primitive carbonaceous
material. Like many asteroids of this type, its surface is very dark in colour.
Stellar occultation events were observed for this asteroid during 2001 and 2005. The resulting chords provided cross-section diameter estimates of 146.5 and 145.3 km, respectively.[6]
