402 Chloë (prov. designation:A895 FBor1895 BW) is a largemain-beltasteroid. It was discovered by French astronomerAuguste Charlois on 21 March 1895 fromNice.[2] This asteroid is orbiting theSun at a distance of2.56 AU with aperiod of 4.09 years and aneccentricity of 0.11. Theorbital plane is inclined at an angle of 11.8° to theplane of the ecliptic.[2]
This asteroid spans a girth of approximately 54 km.[2] It is classified as aK-type asteroid and is aBarbarian, which means it belongs to a class of asteroids of which 234 Barbara is the prototype.[3] Analysis of the asteroidlight curve, based onphotometric data collected during 2009, show arotation period of10.664±0.001 h with a brightness variation of0.30±0.01 inmagnitude.[4]
