3345 Tarkovskij, provisional designation 1982 YC1, is a

rotation period of 187 hours.[6]

Orbit and classification

Tarkovskij is a non-

background population. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.0–2.9 AU once every 3 years and 11 months (1,420 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 16° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

It was first observed as 1938 QC at the

Heidelberg Observatory in 1938, extending the body's observation arc by 44 years prior to its official discovery observation at Nauchnyj.[7]

Physical characteristics

In the

SMASS classification, Tarkovskij is a carbonaceous C-type asteroid, unusual for inner-belt asteroids which are typically of a stony composition.[1]

Slow rotator

In January 2014, a rotational

U=3-).[5] This makes it a slow rotator
, as most asteroids have periods shorter than 20 hours.

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.0407 and 0.096.[6] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0526 and adopts a diameter of 24.17 kilometers with on an absolute magnitude of 11.9 from the IRAS results.[4][6]
