2873 Binzel, provisional designation 1982 FR, is a stony Florian
Orbit and classification
Binzel is a member of the
402), a giant asteroid family and the largest family of stony asteroids in the main-belt.[3][4][11]: 23 It orbits the Sun in the inner main belt at a distance of 1.9–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 5 months (1,234 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
The body's
Johannesburg Observatory in 1935, almost 47 years prior to its official discovery observation at Anderson Mesa.[10]
Physical characteristics
In the
SMASS classification, Binzel is a Sq-subtype, which transition from the common stony S-type asteroids to the less common Q-types.[1]
Rotation period
In September 2010, a rotational
U=2).[8]
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora, the largest member and namesake of the Flora family – and calculates a diameter of 6.48 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 13.11.[3]
