4899 Candace, provisional designation 1988 JU, is a background

Eugene Shoemaker at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The asteroid was named after American chemist Candace Kohl.[2][3]

Orbit and classification

Candace is a non-

semi-major axis of 2.37 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 23° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

The body's observation arc begins with its first observation as 1952 QL1 at Palomar in August 1952, or 36 years prior to its official discovery observation.[2]

Physical characteristics

Candace is an assumed stony S-type asteroid.[4]

Rotation period

In April 2010, a rotational

U=2).[a]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese

albedo between 0.087 and 0.4213.[6][7][8][9]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony members of the Phocaea family of 0.23 and calculates a diameter of 7.63 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.8.[4]
