5430 Luu, provisional designation 1988 JA1, is a stony Phocaea

Eugene Shoemaker at Palomar Observatory, California, and later named after astronomer Jane Luu.[2][12]

Orbit and classification

Luu is a member of the

Crimea–Nauchnij in 1970, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 18 years prior to its discovery.[12]

Physical characteristics

Luu has been characterized as a common S-type asteroid.[3]

Rotation period

In April 2006,

U=2-).[9]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese

albedo between 0.21 and 0.26.[5][6][7][8]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.23 – derived from 25 Phocaea, the family's most massive member and namesake – and calculates a diameter of 7.6 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.8.[3]
