'''1439 Vogtia''', provisional designation 1937 TE, is a dark Hildian [[asteroid]] from the outermost region of the [[asteroid belt]], about 48 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer [[Karl Reinmuth]] at [[Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory|Heidelberg Observatory]] on 11 October 1937.<ref name="MPC-Vogtia" />
'''1439 Vogtia''', provisional designation 1937 TE, is a dark Hildian [[asteroid]] from the outermost region of the [[asteroid belt]], approximately 48 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 11 October 1937, by German astronomer [[Karl Reinmuth]] at [[Heidelberg Observatory]] in southern Germany.<ref name="MPC-Vogtia" />


The asteroid is a member of the [[Hilda family]], a large group that orbits in [[orbital resonance|resonance]] with the gas giant Jupiter and are thought to have originated from the [[Kuiper belt]]. Its [[X-type asteroid|X-spectral type]] is classified as a XFU-subtype in the [[Tholen classification|Tholen]] taxonomy. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.5–4.5&nbsp;[[Astronomical unit|AU]] once every 8 years (2,925 days). Its orbit shows an [[orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.12 and is [[orbital inclination|tilted]] by 4 degrees to the plane of the [[ecliptic]]. It has a [[rotation period]] of almost 13 hours<ref name="Dahlgren-1998" /> and a low [[geometric albedo|albedo]] of 0.04–0.05, according to the surveys carried out by [[IRAS]], [[Akari (satellite)|Akari]], [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer|WISE]]/[[NEOWISE]].<ref name="SIMPS" /><ref name="AKARI" /><ref name="Grav-2012a" />
''Vogtia'' is a member of the [[Hilda family]], a large group that orbits in [[orbital resonance|resonance]] with the gas giant Jupiter, thought to have originated from the [[Kuiper belt]]. In the [[Tholen classification|Tholen]] taxonomy, it is classified as a rare XFU-type, while [[X-type asteroid|X-spectral type]] is classified as a XFU-subtype, while it is also described as a [[C-type asteroid|C]]/[[P-type asteroid|P]]-type asteroid.<ref name="Grav-2012a" />


It orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.5–4.5&nbsp;[[Astronomical unit|AU]] once every 8.01 years (2,925 days). Its orbit has an [[orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.12 and an [[orbital inclination|inclination]] of 4[[Degree (angle)|°]] with respect to the [[ecliptic]].<ref name="jpldata" /> Its [[observation arc]] begins at Heidelberg, 15 days after its official discovery observation, with no [[precoveries]] taken, and no prior identifications made.<ref name="MPC-Vogtia" />
The minor planet was named after German astronomer [[Heinrich Vogt (astronomer)|Heinrich Vogt]] (1890–1968), at the [[University of Heidelberg]],<ref name="springer" /> discoverer of [[735 Marghanna]], and known member of the Nazi paramilitary [[Sturmabteilung]].<ref name="Fischer-lexikon" />

In the 1990s, a rotational [[light-curve]] of ''Vogtia'' was obtained during a survey of Hilda asteroids at Swedish, German and Italian observatories. It gave it a well-defined [[rotation period]] of 12.95 hours with a brightness variation of 0.33 [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]] ({{small|[[LCDB quality code|U=3]]}}).<ref name="Dahlgren-1998" /> In October 2016, American astronomer [[Brian D. Warner]] at his Palmer Divide Station/CS3 obtained another light-curve, which gave a period of 12.898 hours and an identical amplitdue of 0.33 ({{small|[[LCDB quality code|U=3]]}}).{{efn|name=LCDB-Warner-2016}}{{efn|name=CS3-lightcurve}}

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite [[IRAS]], the Japanese [[Akari (satellite)|Akari]] satellite, and NASA's [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer]] with its subsequent [[NEOWISE]] mission, ''Vogtia'' measures between 47.87 and 52.86 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a low [[astronomical albedo|albedo]] between 0.043 and 0.051.<ref name="SIMPS" /><ref name="Grav-2012a" /><ref name="AKARI" /> The ''Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link'' derives an albedo of 0.0425 and a diameter of 47.79 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.65.<ref name="lcdb" />

This minor planet was named for [[Heinrich Vogt (astronomer)|Heinrich Vogt]] (1890–1968), German astronomer at [[University of Heidelberg]],<ref name="springer" /> He discovered [[735 Marghanna]] and was known member of the Nazi paramilitary [[Sturmabteilung]].<ref name="Fischer-lexikon" />

1439 Vogtia, provisional designation 1937 TE, is a dark Hildian asteroid from the outermost region of the asteroid belt, approximately 48 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 11 October 1937, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory in southern Germany.[9]

Vogtia is a member of the Hilda family, a large group that orbits in resonance with the gas giant Jupiter, thought to have originated from the Kuiper belt. In the Tholen taxonomy, it is classified as a rare XFU-type, while X-spectral type is classified as a XFU-subtype, while it is also described as a C/P-type asteroid.[4]

It orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.5–4.5 AU once every 8.01 years (2,925 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] Its observation arc begins at Heidelberg, 15 days after its official discovery observation, with no precoveries taken, and no prior identifications made.[9]

In the 1990s, a rotational light-curve of Vogtia was obtained during a survey of Hilda asteroids at Swedish, German and Italian observatories. It gave it a well-defined rotation period of 12.95 hours with a brightness variation of 0.33 magnitude (U=3).[7] In October 2016, American astronomer Brian D. Warner at his Palmer Divide Station/CS3 obtained another light-curve, which gave a period of 12.898 hours and an identical amplitdue of 0.33 (U=3).[a][b]

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Vogtia measures between 47.87 and 52.86 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a low albedo between 0.043 and 0.051.[5][4][6] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0425 and a diameter of 47.79 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.65.[3]

This minor planet was named for Heinrich Vogt (1890–1968), German astronomer at University of Heidelberg,[2] He discovered 735 Marghanna and was known member of the Nazi paramilitary Sturmabteilung.[10]
