Brian Skiff.[1]

Orbit and classification

Skiff is a member of the

2076 Levin.[5][6]
: 22 

It orbits the Sun in the

Heidelberg Observatory in January 1931. The body's observation arc begins with a precovery taken at Palomar Observatory in June 1953, more than 27 years prior to its official discovery observation at Anderson Mesa.[1]

Physical characteristics

Skiff is an assumed stony

spectral type of the Flora family.[13]

Rotation period

In August 2014, a rotational

U=1).[11]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese

albedo between 0.153 and 0.4489.[7][8][9][10]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora, the Flora family's parent body – and calculates a diameter of 7.82 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.7.[4]
