3353 Jarvis, or by its provisional designation, 1981 YC, is a carbonaceous Hungaria asteroid, slow rotator and suspected tumbler from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 10 kilometers in diameter.

It was discovered on 20 December 1981, by American astronomer

Edward Bowell at Lowell's Anderson Mesa Station near Flagstaff, Arizona, and named after Gregory Jarvis, who died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.[2][3]

Orbit and classification

Jarvis is a member of the

Hungaria family, which form the innermost dense concentration of asteroids in the Solar System. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.7–2.0 AU once every 2 years and 6 months (929 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 22° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] A first precovery was taken at the Siding Spring Observatory in 1980, extending the body's observation arc by more than one year prior to its official discovery at Anderson Mesa.[3]

Physical characteristics

Rotation

In July 2007, a rotational

U=2+/2).[12][a]

Due to an improved long-term calibration of the obtained photometric data points, a much longer period of 202 hours has been derived for Jarvis, which is now among the Top 300 slowest rotators known to exist, as most minor planets have spin rates between 2.2 and 24 hours only.[12]

The observations also suggest that Jarvis might be a tumbling asteroid in a non-principal axis rotation, which are typically slow rotators (T0).[4]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.030 and 0.074.[5][6][7][8][9][10] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0622 and a diameter of 9.70 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 13.7.[4]

While most members of the Hungaria family are
