330 Adalberta (

designation was reassigned from the non-existent object 1892 X.[a][2][7]

Discovery

Adalberta was discovered on 2 February 1910, by German astronomer

Heidelberg Observatory in southern Germany.[7]

Previously, on 18 March 1892, another body discovered by Max Wolf with the

M.P.C. 6939).[2][8]

Orbit and classification

The S-type asteroid orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.8–3.1 AU once every 3 years and 11 months (1,416 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.25 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] Adalberta's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Heidelberg in 1910.[7]

Naming

This minor planet was named in honor of the discoverer's father-in-law, Adalbert Merx (after whom another minor planet

H 37).[2]

Physical characteristics

Rotation period

In 2013, a rotational

U=3).[5]

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by NASA's

albedo of 0.256,[4] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 9.84 kilometers using an absolute magnitude of 12.4.[3]
