5023 Agapenor Eugene Shoemaker at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States.[4] The Jovian asteroid was named for Agapenor from Greek mythology.
Orbit and classification
Agapenor orbits in the leading Greek camp at Jupiter's
Trojans in astronomy). It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 4.9–5.4 AU once every 11 years and 9 months (4,301 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.05 and an inclination of 12° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
A precovery was taken at the discovering observatory in September 1985, extending the body's observation arc by 25 days prior to its official discovery observation.[4]
Physical characteristics
Agapenor has been characterized as an
PanSTARRS photometric survey.[10]
Rotation period
In September 2009, Agapenor was observed by Italian astronomer
U=2+).[9]
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous of 0.057 and calculates a significantly larger diameter of 46.3 kilometers.[5]
