3391 Sinon

rotation period of 8.1 hours and likely an elongated shape.^[7] It was named after the hero Sinon from Greek mythology.^[1]

Orbit and classification

Sinon is a dark Jovian

semi-major axis of 5.3 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 15° with respect to the ecliptic.^[3] The body's observation arc begins with a precovery at Palomar Observatory in March 1953, almost 24 years prior to its official discovery observation at Kiso.^[1]

Physical characteristics

Sinon is assumed to be a carbonaceous C-type asteroid.^[7]

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the

albedo of 0.093,^[6] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for a carbonaceous asteroid of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 48.48 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.3.^[7]
