3425 Hurukawa, provisional designation 1929 BD, is a stony Eoan
Heidelberg Observatory on 29 January 1929, and named after Japanese astronomer Kiichirō Furukawa.[2][10]
Orbit and classification
Hurukawa is a member of the
606), the largest asteroid family in the outer main belt consisting of nearly 10,000 asteroids.. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.3 AU once every 5 years and 2 months (1,898 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 9° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] In 1903, a first precovery was taken at the discovering observatory, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 26 years prior to its official discovery.[10]
Physical characteristics
Hurukawa has been characterized as a common S-type asteroid.[3]

Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite
NEOWISE mission, Hurukawa measures between 21.3 and 27.8 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an untypically low albedo between 0.10 and 0.17.[4][5][6] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.11 and a diameter of 25.3 kilometers.[3]
