5148 Giordano, provisional designation 5557 P-L, is a background
rotation period of 7.8 hours and possibly an elongated shape.[3]
Orbit and classification
Giordano is a non-
It orbits the Sun in the
semi-major axis of 3.11 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 1° with respect to the ecliptic.[5] The body's observation arc begins at Palomar on 24 September 1960, less than a month prior to its official discovery observation.[1]
Physical characteristics
Giordano is an assumed carbonaceous
spectral type for Themistian asteroids.[3]
Rotation period
In September 2010, a rotational
U=2).[9]
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
albedo of 0.089 and 0.07, respectively.[6][7][8] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.08 and calculates a diameter of 6.06 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 14.45.[3]
Palomar–Leiden survey
The
survey designation "P-L" stands for Palomar–Leiden, named after Palomar Observatory and Leiden Observatory, which collaborated on the fruitful Palomar–Leiden survey in the 1960s. Gehrels used Palomar's Samuel Oschin telescope (also known as the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope), and shipped the photographic plates to Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory where astrometry was carried out. The trio are credited with the discovery of several thousand asteroid discoveries.[10]
Naming
This minor planet was named after an Italian Dominican friar Giordano Bruno (1548–1600), a philosopher, mathematician, poet, and cosmological theorist who spent many years in London, where several of his papers were published.[2]
Bruno was convinced that the
13223 Cenaceneri, was named after Bruno's work "The Dinner of the Ashes" (Italian
: La Cena delle Ceneri), where he discusses the possibility of an infinite number of worlds in the universe.
