Heidelberg Observatory in southwest Germany.[18] It was later named for the Italian Veneto region where the city of Venice is located.[3]

Orbit and classification

Venetia orbits the Sun in the middle main-belt at a distance of 2.4–2.9 AU once every 4 years and 4 months (1,593 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.09 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The body's

531) in Italy, approximately 17 months after its official discovery observation at Heidelberg.[18]

Physical characteristics

On the taxonomic scheme, Venetia is a common, featureless S-type asteroid.[1] More recently, polarimetric observations refined its classification to a rare K-type asteroid.[17]

Rotation period

In March 2014, the so-far best rated rotational

U=3).[4][13] The result supersedes previously measured periods of 10.62 to 18 hours.[9][10][11][16]

Spin axis

In two separate studies, groups of German, Russian and Swedish astronomers also modeled Venetia's lightcurve from various data sources in 2000 and 2002. They found two

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite

albedo between 0.228 and 0.328.[5][6][7][8] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.2457 and a diameter of 63.15 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 8.14.[4]

Naming

This

Po River and the Alps. Naming was proposed by Italian astronomer Elia Millosevich.[3]

Naming citation was first mentioned in

Lutz Schmadel for the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names based on a private communication with astronomer Piero Sicoli.[3]
