1927 Suvanto
1927 Suvanto , provisional designation 1936 FP , is a stony Eunomian asteroid from the central region of the asteroid belt , approximately 12 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 18 March 1936, by Finnish astronomer Rafael Suvanto at the Turku Observatory in Southwest Finland.[ 10] The asteroid was posthumously named in honor of the discoverer.[ 2]
Orbit and classification
Suvanto is a member of the Eunomia family , the most prominent family in the intermediate main-belt, which mostly consists of stony S-type asteroids. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.3–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 4 months (1,577 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 13° with respect to the ecliptic .[ 1]
Physical characteristics
It will pass 0.048 AU (7,200,000 km) from 2 Pallas on 24 May 2074, which will allow a refinement to the known mass of Pallas.[ 1]
Photometric observations of Suvanto collected during 2004–2005 show a rotation period of 8.163 hours with a brightness variation of 0.60 magnitude .[ 7]
Naming
This minor planet was named in memory of Rafael Suvanto (credited discoverer), assistant of Yrjö Väisälä . Suvanto died during the last days of the Finnish Winter War of in the Battle of Summa (also see naming of asteroid 1928 Summa ) .[ 2] The approved naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 August 1980 (M.P.C. 5450 ).[ 11]
