Main-belt asteroid
1060 Magnolia , provisional designation1925 PA , is a stony Florianasteroid from the inner regions of theasteroid belt , approximately 7 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 13 August 1925, by German astronomerKarl Reinmuth at theHeidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory .[ 18] magnolia [ 3]
Orbit and classification [ edit ] Magnolia is a member of theFlora family (402 [ 4] [ 5] asteroid family and the largest family of stony asteroids in the main-belt.[ 19] : 23 inner asteroid belt at a distance of 1.8–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,222 days;semi-major axis of 2.24 AU). Its orbit has aneccentricity of 0.20 and aninclination of 6° with respect to theecliptic .[ 1]
The body'sobservation arc begins at Heidelberg in September 1925, or one month after its official discovery observation.[ 18]
Physical characteristics [ edit ] Pan-STARRS ' photometric survey characterizesMagnolia as a common, stonyS-type asteroid ,[ 17] spectral type for members of the Flora family.[ 19] : 23
Several rotationallightcurves ofMagnolia have been obtained from photometric observations since 1992.[ 11] [ 12] [ 13] [ 14] [ 15] [ 16] rotation period of 2.9107 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.14magnitude (U=3 [ 4] [ 13]
Diameter and albedo [ edit ] According to the survey carried out by theNEOWISE mission of NASA'sWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE),Magnolia measures between 5.23 and 9.65 kilometers in diameter and its surface has analbedo between 0.173 and 0.47.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] [ 10]
TheCollaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adoptsPetr Pravec 's revised WISE results, that is, an albedo of 0.2839 and a diameter of 7.16 kilometers based on anabsolute magnitude of 12.71.[ 4] [ 9]
Thisminor planet was named after agenus of flowering plants,magnolia Pierre Magnol . The official naming citation was mentioned inThe Names of the Minor Planets Paul Herget in 1955 (H 101 [ 3]
Due to his many discoveries,Karl Reinmuth submitted a large list of 66 newly named asteroids in the early 1930s. The list covered his discoveries with numbers between(1009) and(1200) . This list also contained a sequence of 28 asteroids, starting with1054 Forsytia , that were all named after plants, in particularflowering plants (also see list of minor planets named after animals and plants) .[ 20]
