1306 Scythia, provisional designation1930 OB, is a dark Ursulaasteroid from the outer regions of theasteroid belt, approximately 72 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 22 July 1930, by Soviet astronomerGrigory Neujmin at theSimeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula.[16] The asteroid was named for the historic region ofScythia.

Orbit and classification

[edit]

Scythia is a member of theUrsula family (631),[5] a mid-sizedasteroid family in theouter main-belt.[17]: 23  It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.9–3.4 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,041 days;semi-major axis of 3.15 AU). Its orbit has aneccentricity of 0.09 and aninclination of 15° with respect to theecliptic.[1] The body'sobservation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Simeiz in July 1930.[16]

Physical characteristics

[edit]

In theTholen classification,Scythia is a stonyS-type asteroid,[1][4] unlike the overallspectral type of theUrsula family which is that of aC- andX-type.[17]: 23 

Rotation period

[edit]

In September 2003, a rotationallightcurve ofScythia was obtained from photometric observations byRobert Stephens at the Santana Observatory in California. Lightcurve analysis gave arotation period of 15.05 hours with a brightness variation of 0.15magnitude (U=2).[13] In August 2008,Pierre Antonini measured a better period solution of 7.525 hours (or half the period) and an amplitude of 0.25 magnitude (U=3).[12]

Diameter and albedo

[edit]

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical SatelliteIRAS, the JapaneseAkari satellite and theNEOWISE mission of NASA'sWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer,Scythia measures between 66.780 and 83.65 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a lowalbedo between 0.034 and 0.052.[6][7][8][9][10][11][14]

TheCollaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.0512 and a diameter of 67.14 kilometers based on anabsolute magnitude of 9.71.[4]

Naming

[edit]

Thisminor planet was named after the ancient region ofScythia, located east of the Black Sea. The official naming citation was mentioned inThe Names of the Minor Planets byPaul Herget in 1955 (H 119).[3]
