892 Seeligeria is dark Alaudaasteroid from the outer region of theasteroid belt that was discovered by German astronomerMax Wolf on May 31, 1918 inHeidelberg and assigned a preliminary designation of 1918 DR. It was named after German astronomerHugo Hans von Seeliger.
Photometric observations at the Oakley Observatory inTerre Haute, Indiana, during 2007 were used to build alight curve for 892 Seeligeria. The asteroid displayed arotation period of 15.78 ± 0.04 hours and a brightness variation of 0.35 ± 0.07 inmagnitude.[3]
Seeligeria is a member of theAlauda family (902),[1] a largefamily of typically bright carbonaceous asteroids and named after its parent body,702 Alauda.[4]: 23
