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

: 23 

The 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]

Naming

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
