845 Naëma (

rotation period of 20.9 hours and measures approximately 54 kilometers (34 miles) in diameter on average, as it is likely elongated in shape. Any reference of the asteroid's name to a person is unknown.[2]

Orbit and classification

Naëma is the

Nesvorný,[5] as well as Milani and Knežević (AstDyS)[4] The family was first detected by Vincenzo Zappalà in 1994/95.[13]

Naëma orbits the Sun in the

Heidelberg Observatory on 16 November 1916.[1]

Naming

Naëma is a German variant of the biblical name

Naomi.[14] However, any reference of this minor planet's name to a person or occurrence is unknown.[2]

According to the surveys carried out by the

mean diameter measurements published by the WISE team include (47.19±13.93 km), (52.419±20.30 km), (52.91±11.64 km), (56.933±0.338 km) and (60.12±2.45 km) with corresponding albedos of (0.06±0.05), (0.0417±0.0296), (0.04±0.02), (0.0718±0.0189) and (0.041±0.006).[16][18]

Several

asteroid occultations of Naëma have been observed between 2002 and 2010. The best-rated one from 10 April 2010, gave a best-fit ellipse dimension of (63.1 km × 42.5 km).[16]
These timed observations are taken when the asteroid passes in front of a distant star.
