'''5175 Ables''', provisional designation {{mp|1988 VS|4}}, is a bright, stony [[asteroid]] from the inner regions of the [[asteroid belt]], about 5 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by American astronomers [[Carolyn Shoemaker|Carolyn]] and [[Eugene Shoemaker]] at the U.S. [[Palomar Observatory]], California, on 4 November 1988.<ref name="MPC-Ables" />

The bright [[E-type asteroid|E-type]] asteroid is a member of the [[Hungaria family]], which form the innermost dense concentration of asteroids in the Solar System. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.9–2.0&nbsp;[[Astronomical unit|AU]] once every 2 years and 9 months (1,008 days). Its orbit shows an [[orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.04 and is [[orbital inclination|tilted]] by 17 degrees to the plane of the [[ecliptic]].<ref name="jpldata" />

Between 2010 and 2014, several photometric [[light-curve]] analysis at the U.S. ''Palmer Divide Station'' in Colorado, have given a well-defined [[rotation period]] of 2.798 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.10 in [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]].<ref name="Warner-2011a" /><ref name="Warner-2014f" /> Based on the surveys carried out by the U.S. [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer]] and its subsequent [[NEOWISE]] mission, the asteroid has an [[astronomical albedo|albedo]] of 0.29 and 0.51, with a corresponding diameter of 5.7 and 4.3 kilometers, respectively, while the ''Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link'' (CALL) assumes an albedo of 0.30 and calculates a diameter of 5.3 kilometers.<ref name="lcdb" /><ref name="WISE" /><ref name="Masiero-2012" />

The minor planet was named in honor of American astronomer Harold D. Ables (b.&thinsp;1938), former director at the [[United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station]] (NOFS). He led the Flagstaff Station in its development of [[Charge-coupled device|CCD]] capabilities for [[astrometry]] and spearheaded the transition from photographic to CCD techniques in parallax determinations. The name was proposed by the discoverers following a suggestion by the ''JPL Ephemeris Group''.<ref name="springer" />

5175 Ables, provisional designation 1988 VS4, is a bright, stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, about 5 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by American astronomers Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker at the U.S. Palomar Observatory, California, on 4 November 1988.[9]

The bright E-type asteroid is a member of the Hungaria family, which form the innermost dense concentration of asteroids in the Solar System. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.9–2.0 AU once every 2 years and 9 months (1,008 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.04 and is tilted by 17 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.[1]

Between 2010 and 2014, several photometric light-curve analysis at the U.S. Palmer Divide Station in Colorado, have given a well-defined rotation period of 2.798 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.10 in magnitude.[6][7] Based on the surveys carried out by the U.S. Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and its subsequent NEOWISE mission, the asteroid has an albedo of 0.29 and 0.51, with a corresponding diameter of 5.7 and 4.3 kilometers, respectively, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL) assumes an albedo of 0.30 and calculates a diameter of 5.3 kilometers.[3][4][5]

The minor planet was named in honor of American astronomer Harold D. Ables (b. 1938), former director at the United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS). He led the Flagstaff Station in its development of CCD capabilities for astrometry and spearheaded the transition from photographic to CCD techniques in parallax determinations. The name was proposed by the discoverers following a suggestion by the JPL Ephemeris Group.[2]
