5196 Bustelli (prov. designation:3102 T-2) is a stonyEunomia asteroid from the central regions of theasteroid belt, approximately 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 30 September 1973, by Dutch astronomersIngrid andCornelis van Houten at Leiden, andTom Gehrels thePalomar Observatory. TheS-type asteroid was named after Italian-Swiss artistFranz Anton Bustelli.[1][2]
Bustelli is a core member of theEunomia family (502),[3] a prominentfamily of stonyS-type asteroid and the largest one in the intermediate main belt with more than 5,000 members.[7] It orbits the Sun in thecentral asteroid belt at a distance of 2.3–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 5 months (1,619 days;semi-major axis of 2.7 AU). Its orbit has aneccentricity of 0.14 and aninclination of 13° with respect to theecliptic.[2] The body'sobservation arc begins with aprecovery taken at Palomar Observatory in March 1971.[1]
Thesurvey designation "T-2" stands for the secondPalomar–Leiden Trojan survey, named after the fruitful collaboration of the Palomar andLeiden Observatory in the 1960s and 1970s. Gehrels used Palomar'sSamuel Oschin telescope (also known as the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope), and shipped thephotographic plates to Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory whereastrometry was carried out. The trio is credited with the discovery ofseveral thousand asteroid discoveries.[8]
Thisminor planet was named after Italian-Swiss artistFranz Anton Bustelli (1723–1763), a famous modeller of figures for theNymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory. The official naming citation was published by theMinor Planet Center on 1 September 1993 (M.P.C. 22507).[9]
Bustelli has anabsolute magnitude of 12.8. In theSMASS classification, it is a stonyS-type asteroid.[2][6]
According to the survey carried out by theNEOWISE mission of NASA'sWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Bustelli measures 5.944 kilometers in diameter and its surface has analbedo of 0.146.[4][5]
As of 2018, no rotationallightcurve of Bustelli has been obtained fromphotometric observations. The body'srotation period,poles and shape remain unknown.[2]
