7835 Myroncope (
rotation period of 7.4 hours and measures approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) in diameter. It was named in memory of American sports announcer Myron Cope (1929–2008).[2][1]
Classification and orbit
Myroncope has been identified as a member of the
: 23The asteroid orbits the Sun in the
Geisei Observatory in 1990. However the observation was excluded from the asteroid's orbit determination and did not extend its observation arc prior to its discovery.[1]

M.P.C. 62928).[11]
Physical characteristics
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the
albedo of 0.08.[7][8] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a smaller diameter of 6.2 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 13.4.[6]
Rotation period and poles
In 2016, the asteroid's lightcurve has been modeled using data from Lowell
Q=n.a.).[9]
