2146 Stentor/ˈstɛntər/ is aJupiter trojan from theGreek camp, approximately 51 kilometers (32 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 24 October 1976, by Danish astronomerRichard Martin West at theESO'sLa Silla Observatory in Chile.^[1] The dark Jovianasteroid has arotation period of 16.4 hours and belongs to the100 largest Jupiter trojans.^[7] It was named afterStentor from Greek mythology, a Herald of the Greeks during theTrojan War.^[1]

Orbit and classification

[edit]

Stentor is a Jovianasteroid orbiting in the leading Greek camp at Jupiter'sL₄ Lagrangian point, 60° ahead of the gas giant's orbit in a1:1 resonance(seeTrojans in astronomy).^[4] It is a non-family asteroid in theJovian background population.^[5]

It orbits the Sun at a distance of 4.7–5.7 AU once every 11 years and 10 months (4,327 days;semi-major axis of 5.2 AU). Its orbit has aneccentricity of 0.10 and aninclination of 39° with respect to theecliptic.^[3] The body'sobservation arc begins with its official discovery observation at La Silla in October 1976.^[1]

Physical characteristics

[edit]

Stentor is an assumedC-type asteroid.^[7]

Rotation period

[edit]

In June 2016, a rotationallightcurve ofStentor was obtained fromphotometric observations byBrian Warner at theCenter for Solar System Studies (CS3) in California. Lightcurve analysis gave arotation period of16.40±0.02 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.10magnitude (U=2). An alternative period solution (1:1.5 alias of 24.88 was also obtained.^[7]^[8]^[a]

Stentor was previously observed at CS3 by Daniel Coley andRobert Stephens in February 2013, gave an alternative period solution of35.14±0.02 hours with an amplitude of 0.09 magnitude. This approximately a 1:2 alias is now superseded by the shorter period above (U=2).^[9]

Diameter and albedo

[edit]

According to the survey carried out by theNEOWISE mission of NASA'sWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer,Stentor measures 50.76 kilometers in diameter and its surface has analbedo 0.082,^[6] while theCollaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for a carbonaceous asteroid of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 58.29 kilometers based on anabsolute magnitude of 9.9.^[7]

Naming

[edit]

Thisminor planet was named fromGreek mythology afterStentor, the Greek warrior and herald with a voice as loud as fifty men together.^[1] The officialnaming citation was published by theMinor Planet Center on 1 July 1979 (M.P.C. 4788).^[10]
