365 Corduba is a very largemain-beltasteroid that was discovered by the French astronomerAuguste Charlois on 21 March 1893 fromNice. It is classified as aC-type asteroid and is probably composed ofcarbonaceous material.
Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Palmer Divide Observatory inColorado Springs, Colorado, during 2007 gave alight curve with a period of 6.551 ± 0.002 hours and a brightness variation of 0.05 inmagnitude. This differs somewhat from a 2004 study that gave a period of 6.354 hours, but this difference may be explained by the small magnitude variation which tends to increase the randomizing effect of noise in the data.[6]
