3669 Vertinskij, provisional designation 1982 UO7, is a stony Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 21 October 1982, by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Karachkina at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnij, on the Crimean peninsula.[1] The S-type asteroid was named for Russian artist Alexander Vertinsky.[1]
Orbit and classification
Vertinskij is a member of the
semi-major axis of 2.21 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.07 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic.[2]
The body's observation arc begins with a precovery taken at the Palomar Observatory in November 1949, nearly 33 years prior to its official discovery observation at Nauchnij.[1]
Physical characteristics
In the
SMASS classification, Vertinskij is a common stony S-type asteroid.[2]
Rotation period
In December 2015,
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
albedo between 0.2229 and 0.238,[5][6] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora, the parent body of the Flora family – and calculates a diameter of 6.51 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 13.1.[4]
