'''1416 Renauxa''' (1937 EC) is a [[Asteroid belt|main-belt]] [[asteroid]] discovered on March 4, 1937, by [[L. Boyer]] at [[Algiers]].<ref name=jpldata/> It was one of the first ten identified [[K-type asteroid]]s.<ref name=ntrs/> |
|||
'''1416 Renauxa''', provisional designation {{mpf|1937 EC}}, is an Eon [[asteroid]] from the outer regions of the [[asteroid belt]], approximately 29 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 4 March 1937, by French astronomer [[Louis Boyer (astronomer)|Louis Boyer]] at the [[Algiers Observatory]] in Algeria, North Africa.<ref name="MPC-object" /> It was named after P. Renaux, an astronomer at the discovering observatory.<ref name="springer" /> |

== Orbit and classification == |
|||
}} |
|||
''Renauxa'' is a member the [[Eos family]] ({{small|[[FIN tbl#606|606]]}}),<ref name="lcdb" /><ref name="Ferret" /> the largest [[asteroid family]] in the [[Kirkwood gap|outer]] main belt consisting of nearly 10,000 asteroids.<ref name="Nesvorny-2014" />{{rp|23}} It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.3 [[Astronomical unit|AU]] once every 5 years and 3 months (1,915 days). Its orbit has an [[orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.11 and an [[orbital inclination|inclination]] of 10[[Degree (angle)|°]] with respect to the [[ecliptic]].<ref name="jpldata" /> |
|||
==External links== |
|||
The asteroid was first identified as {{mpf|A914 TB}} at [[Heidelberg Observatory]] in October 1914, where its [[observation arc]] begins with its identification as {{mpf|1919 SC}} in September 1919, more than 17 years prior to its official discovery observation at Algiers.<ref name="MPC-object" /> |
|||
== Physical characteristics == |
|||
''Renauxa'' has been characterized as a [[K-type asteroid]],<ref name="Granahan-1993" /> one of the first of such type ever identified and in line with the overall [[Asteroid spectral type|spectral type]] for members of the Eos family.<ref name="Nesvorny-2014" />{{rp|23}} In the [[Tholen classification]], it is classified as an [[S-type asteroid]].<ref name="jpldata" /> This is a known misclassification as S- and K-types are identical in the visual part of the spectrum.<ref name="Granahan-1993" /> |
|||
=== Rotation period === |
|||
In September 2010, a rotational [[lightcurve]] of ''Renauxa'' was obtained from photometric observations by Richard Durkee at the S.O.S. Observatory ({{small|[[IAU code#H39|H39]]}}). Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined [[rotation period]] of 8.700 hours with a low brightness variation of 0.11 [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]] ({{small|[[LCDB quality code|U=3]]}}),<ref name="Durkee-2010b" /> superseding previous observation that gave approximately half the period solution ({{small|[[LCDB quality code|U=1/2]]}}).<ref name="Lagerkvist-1978a" />{{efn|name=lcdb-Iowa-2011}} A low brightness amplitude is typical for a spherical rather than elongated shape. |
|||
=== Diameter and albedo === |
|||
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite [[IRAS]], the Japanese [[Akari (satellite)|Akari satellite]] and the [[NEOWISE]] mission of NASA's [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer]], ''Renauxa'' measures between 22.24 and 34.42 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an [[astronomical albedo|albedo]] between 0.09 and 0.212.<ref name="Masiero-2012" /><ref name="Masiero-2014" /><ref name="SIMPS" /><ref name="WISE" /><ref name="Nugent-2016" /><ref name="Nugent-2015" /><ref name="AKARI" /> |
|||
The ''Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link'' derives an albedo of 0.1122 and a diameter of 28.75 kilometers based on an [[absolute magnitude]] of 10.7.<ref name="lcdb" /> |
|||
== Naming == |
|||
This [[minor planet]] was named after P. Renaux, a French astronomer and assistant at the discovering [[Algiers Observatory]]. The official naming citation was mentioned in ''[[The Names of the Minor Planets]]'' by [[Paul Herget]] in 1955 ({{small|[[Herget's discovery circumstances|H 128]]}}).<ref name="springer" /> |

1416 Renauxa, provisional designation 1937 EC, is an Eon asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 29 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 4 March 1937, by French astronomer Louis Boyer at the Algiers Observatory in Algeria, North Africa.[15] It was named after P. Renaux, an astronomer at the discovering observatory.[2]
Orbit and classification
Renauxa is a member the Eos family (606),[3][4] the largest asteroid family in the outer main belt consisting of nearly 10,000 asteroids.[16]: 23 It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.3 AU once every 5 years and 3 months (1,915 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.11 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
The asteroid was first identified as A914 TB at Heidelberg Observatory in October 1914, where its observation arc begins with its identification as 1919 SC in September 1919, more than 17 years prior to its official discovery observation at Algiers.[15]
Physical characteristics
Renauxa has been characterized as a K-type asteroid,[14] one of the first of such type ever identified and in line with the overall spectral type for members of the Eos family.[16]: 23 In the Tholen classification, it is classified as an S-type asteroid.[1] This is a known misclassification as S- and K-types are identical in the visual part of the spectrum.[14]
Rotation period
In September 2010, a rotational lightcurve of Renauxa was obtained from photometric observations by Richard Durkee at the S.O.S. Observatory (H39). Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 8.700 hours with a low brightness variation of 0.11 magnitude (U=3),[13] superseding previous observation that gave approximately half the period solution (U=1/2).[12][a] A low brightness amplitude is typical for a spherical rather than elongated shape.
Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Renauxa measures between 22.24 and 34.42 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.09 and 0.212.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.1122 and a diameter of 28.75 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.7.[3]
Naming
This minor planet was named after P. Renaux, a French astronomer and assistant at the discovering Algiers Observatory. The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 128).[2]
