''Candy'' is an assumed carbonaceous [[C-type asteroid]].<ref name="lcdb" />

=== Lightcurves ===

Several rotational [[lightcurve]] of ''Candy'' was obtained from photometric observations by astronomer Maurice Clark. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined [[rotation period]] between 4.6249 and 4.62516 hours with a brightness variation between 0.50 and 1.05 [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]] ({{small|[[LCDB quality code|U=3/3/3/3/3]]}}). (A high brightness amplitude typically indicates that a body has a non-[[spheroidal]] shape.)<ref name="Clark-2012a" /><ref name="Clark-2007" /><ref name="Clark-2016a" /><ref name="Clark-2015a" /><ref name="Clark-2016b" />

A 2016-published lightcurve, using modeled photometric data from the Lowell Photometric Database (LPD), gave a concurring period of 4.625223 hours ({{small|[[LCDB quality code|U=2]]}}), as well as two spin axis of (142.0°, −26.0°) and (346.0 °, −70.0°) in [[Ecliptic coordinate system|ecliptic coordinates]] (λ,&thinsp;β).<ref name="Durech-2016" />

Clark's spin modeling also suggests that ''Candy'' has a a [[retrograde rotation]], and the spin axis of (306.0°, 43.0.0°), nearly aligned with the body's shortest axis.<ref name="Clark-2016b" />

=== Diameter and albedo ===

According to the survey carried out by the [[NEOWISE]] mission of NASA's [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer]], ''Candy'' measures 24.517 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an [[astronomical albedo|albedo]] of 0.1067,<ref name="Masiero-2011" /><ref name="WISE" /> while the ''Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link'' assumes an standard albedo for carbonaceous of 0.057, and calculates a diameter of 33.54 kilometers based on an [[absolute magnitude]] of 11.1.<ref name="lcdb" />

== Naming ==

This [[minor planet]] was named after [[Michael P. Candy]] (1928–1994) a British astronomer and [[discoverer of minor planets]] and [[comet]]s, who was a director of the [[Royal Greenwich Observatory]] and [[Perth Observatory]].

As a long-time [[Astrometry|astrometrist]] and orbit computer, he discovered comet [[C/1960 Y1]] (Candy) at Greenwich, as well as the minor planet [[3898 Curlewis]], [[3893 DeLaeter]] and [[3894 Williamcooke]]. He was also president of [[IAU]]'s Commission VI.<ref name="springer" /> The official naming citation was published by the [[Minor Planet Center]] on 22 June 1986 ({{small|[[Minor Planet Circulars|M.P.C.]] 10845}}).<ref name="MPC-Circulars-Archive" />

3015 Candy, provisional designation 1980 VN, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 25 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 9 November 1980, by British-American astronomer Edward Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station in Flagstaff, Arizona.[13] The asteroid was named after British astronomer Michael P. Candy.[2]

Orbit and classification

Candy is a background asteroid that does not belong to any known asteroid family. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.8–4.0 AU once every 6 years and 3 months (2,276 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination of 17° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

The body's observation arc begins with a precovery taken at Goethe Link Observatory in May 1965, more than 15 years prior to its official discovery observation at Anderson Mesa.[13]

Physical characteristics

Candy is an assumed carbonaceous C-type asteroid.[3]

Lightcurves

Several rotational lightcurve of Candy was obtained from photometric observations by astronomer Maurice Clark. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period between 4.6249 and 4.62516 hours with a brightness variation between 0.50 and 1.05 magnitude (U=3/3/3/3/3). (A high brightness amplitude typically indicates that a body has a non-spheroidal shape.)[6][7][8][9][10]

A 2016-published lightcurve, using modeled photometric data from the Lowell Photometric Database (LPD), gave a concurring period of 4.625223 hours (U=2), as well as two spin axis of (142.0°, −26.0°) and (346.0 °, −70.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).[11]

Clark's spin modeling also suggests that Candy has a a retrograde rotation, and the spin axis of (306.0°, 43.0.0°), nearly aligned with the body's shortest axis.[10]

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Candy measures 24.517 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.1067,[4][5] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an standard albedo for carbonaceous of 0.057, and calculates a diameter of 33.54 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.1.[3]

Naming

This minor planet was named after Michael P. Candy (1928–1994) a British astronomer and discoverer of minor planets and comets, who was a director of the Royal Greenwich Observatory and Perth Observatory.

As a long-time astrometrist and orbit computer, he discovered comet C/1960 Y1 (Candy) at Greenwich, as well as the minor planet 3898 Curlewis, 3893 DeLaeter and 3894 Williamcooke. He was also president of IAU's Commission VI.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 22 June 1986 (M.P.C. 10845).[14]
