'''807 Ceraskia''' ([[Minor planet provisional designation|''prov. designation'']]: {{mp|A915 HF}} ''or'' {{mp|1915 WY}}) is an elongated [[Eos asteroid]] from the outer regions of the [[asteroid belt]]. It was discovered on 18 April 1915, by German astronomer [[Max Wolf]] at the [[Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory]] in southwest Germany.<ref name="MPC-object" /> The [[S-type asteroid]] has a [[rotation period]] of 7.4 hours and measures approximately {{convert|24|km|mi|abbr=off|sigfig=2|sp=us}} in diameter. It was named after Belarusian–Soviet astronomer [[Vitold Cerasky]] (1849–1925).<ref name="springer" />
'''807 Ceraskia''' is a [[minor planet]] orbiting the [[Sun]].

== Orbit and classification ==

''Ceraskia'' is a core member the [[Eos family]] ({{small|[[FIN tbl#606|606]]}}),<ref name="AstDys-object" /><ref name="Ferret" /><ref name="Zappala-family" /> the largest [[asteroid family]] of the [[Kirkwood gap|outer]] main belt consisting of nearly 10,000 known asteroids.<ref name="lcdb" /><ref name="Nesvorny-2014" /> It orbits the Sun in the [[Kirkwood gap|outer]] asteroid belt at a distance of 2.8–3.2&nbsp;[[Astronomical unit|AU]] once every 5 years and 3 months (1,913 days; [[semi-major axis]] of 3.02&nbsp;AU). Its orbit has an [[orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.07 and an [[orbital inclination|inclination]] of 11[[Degree (angle)|°]] with respect to the [[ecliptic]].<ref name="jpldata" /> The asteroid was first observed as {{mp|A909 BK}} at [[Heidelberg Observatory]] on 18 January 1909. The body's [[observation arc]] begins at [[Vienna Observatory]] on 4 May 1915, or two weeks after its official discovery observation at Heidelberg by Max Wolf.<ref name="MPC-object" />

== Naming ==

This [[minor planet]] was named after [[Vitold Cerasky]] (1849–1925), a Belarusian–Soviet astronomer, professor of astronomy at [[Moscow University]] and long-time director of the Moscow Observatory {{Obscode|105}}. According to [[Nikolai Chernykh]], Cerasky worked extensively on stellar and solar [[Photometry (astronomy)|photometry]].<ref name="springer" /> His name is often transliterated as Vitold Tserasky and Witold Karlovich Ceraski. The lunar crater [[Tseraskiy (crater)|''Tseraskiy'']] is named after him.<ref name="Crater-Tseraskiy" /> His wife, [[Lidiya Tseraskaya]] (1855–1931), who was also an astronomer, was honored by the crater [[List of craters on Venus#Tseraskaya|''Tseraskaya'']] on Venus.<ref name="Crater-Tseraskaya" />

The {{MoMP|807|official naming citation}} was incorrect in the previous three editions of ''Dictionary of Minor Planet Names'', which was based on ''[[The Names of the Minor Planets]]'' by [[Paul Herget]] in 1955 ({{small|[[Herget's discovery circumstances|H 80]]}}).<ref name="springer" />

== Physical characteristics ==

In the [[Tholen classification]], ''Ceraskia'' is a common, stony [[S-type asteroid]].<ref name="jpldata" /> In the taxonomic classification based on near-infrared colors from the MOVIS-catalog, the asteroid is a Cgx-subtype that is closest to a carbonaceous [[C-type asteroid|C-type]] and somewhat similar to a uncommon [[G-type asteroid|G-type]] and [[X-type asteroid]]. The MOVIS catalog was created from data gather by the [[VISTA (telescope)#VISTA Surveys|VISTA Hemisphere Survey]] conducted with the [[VISTA (telescope)|VISTA]] telescope at [[Paranal Observatory]] in Chile.<ref name="Popescu-2018b" />

=== Rotation period ===
[[File:807Ceraskia (Lightcurve Inversion).png|thumb|left|265px|A three-dimensional model of 807 Ceraskia based on its light curve]]

In October 2017, a rotational [[lightcurve]] of ''Ceraskia'' was obtained from [[Photometry (astronomy)|photometric]] observations by Matthieu Conjat at [[Nice Observatory]] {{Obscode|020}} in France. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined [[rotation period]] of {{val|7.368|0.002}} hours with a brightness variation of {{val|0.39|0.01}} [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]] ({{small|[[LCDB quality code|U=3]]}}).<ref name="lcdb" /><ref name="geneva-obs" /> The result supersedes previous observations by [[Richard Binzel]] in April 1983 and by astronomers at the [[Palomar Transient Factory]] in California on October 2012, which gave a period of {{val|7.4}} and {{val|7.375|0.0030}} hours with an amplitude of {{val|0.25}} and {{val|0.49}} magnitude, respectively ({{small|[[LCDB quality code|U=2/2]]}}).<ref name="Binzel-1987b" /><ref name="Waszczak-2015" />

Lightcurve inversion also modeled the body's shape and [[Poles of astronomical bodies|poles]]. In 2013, modelling by an international study using photometric data from the [[US Naval Observatory]], the Uppsala Asteroid Photometric Catalogue, the [[Palomar Transient Factory]] and the [[Catalina Sky Survey]] gave a concurring sidereal period of {{val|7.37390|0.00002}} hours and two spin axes of (325.0°, 23.0°) and (132.0°, 26.0°) in [[Ecliptic coordinate system|ecliptic coordinates]] (λ,&thinsp;β). The body's very elongated shape had already been indicated by the relatively high brightness variation measured during the direct photometric observations.<ref name="Ferret" /><ref name="Hanus-2013a" />

=== Diameter and albedo ===

According to the surveys carried out by the [[NEOWISE]] mission of NASA's [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer]] (WISE), the Infrared Astronomical Satellite [[IRAS]], and the Japanese [[Akari (satellite)|Akari satellite]], ''Ceraskia'' measures ({{val|21.241|0.270}}), ({{val|26.24|1.3}}) and ({{val|30.38|0.56}}) kilometers in diameter and its surface has an [[astronomical albedo|albedo]] of ({{val|0.207|0.025}}), ({{val|0.1532|0.016}}) and ({{val|30.38|0.56}}), respectively.<ref name="Mainzer-2016" /><ref name="SIMPS" /><ref name="AKARI" /> The ''Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link'' derives an albedo of 0.1368 and a diameter of 26.15 kilometers based on an [[absolute magnitude]] of 10.69.<ref name="lcdb" /> Alternative mean-diameter measurements published by the WISE team include ({{val|21.361|0.302|ul=km}}) and ({{val|22.83|1.91|u=km}}) with corresponding albedos of ({{val|0.2071|0.0485}}) and ({{val|0.222|0.091}}).<ref name="Ferret" /><ref name="lcdb" />

807 Ceraskia (prov. designation: A915 HF or 1915 WY) is an elongated Eos asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 18 April 1915, by German astronomer Max Wolf at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory in southwest Germany.[1] The S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 7.4 hours and measures approximately 24 kilometers (15 miles) in diameter. It was named after Belarusian–Soviet astronomer Vitold Cerasky (1849–1925).[2]

Orbit and classification

Ceraskia is a core member the Eos family (606),[4][5][6] the largest asteroid family of the outer main belt consisting of nearly 10,000 known asteroids.[7][15] It orbits the Sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.8–3.2 AU once every 5 years and 3 months (1,913 days; semi-major axis of 3.02 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.07 and an inclination of 11° with respect to the ecliptic.[3] The asteroid was first observed as A909 BK at Heidelberg Observatory on 18 January 1909. The body's observation arc begins at Vienna Observatory on 4 May 1915, or two weeks after its official discovery observation at Heidelberg by Max Wolf.[1]

Naming

This minor planet was named after Vitold Cerasky (1849–1925), a Belarusian–Soviet astronomer, professor of astronomy at Moscow University and long-time director of the Moscow Observatory (105). According to Nikolai Chernykh, Cerasky worked extensively on stellar and solar photometry.[2] His name is often transliterated as Vitold Tserasky and Witold Karlovich Ceraski. The lunar crater Tseraskiy is named after him.[16] His wife, Lidiya Tseraskaya (1855–1931), who was also an astronomer, was honored by the crater Tseraskaya on Venus.[17]

The official naming citation was incorrect in the previous three editions of Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, which was based on The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 80).[2]

Physical characteristics

In the Tholen classification, Ceraskia is a common, stony S-type asteroid.[3] In the taxonomic classification based on near-infrared colors from the MOVIS-catalog, the asteroid is a Cgx-subtype that is closest to a carbonaceous C-type and somewhat similar to a uncommon G-type and X-type asteroid. The MOVIS catalog was created from data gather by the VISTA Hemisphere Survey conducted with the VISTA telescope at Paranal Observatory in Chile.[13]

Rotation period

A three-dimensional model of 807 Ceraskia based on its light curve

In October 2017, a rotational lightcurve of Ceraskia was obtained from photometric observations by Matthieu Conjat at Nice Observatory (020) in France. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 7.368±0.002 hours with a brightness variation of 0.39±0.01 magnitude (U=3).[7][12] The result supersedes previous observations by Richard Binzel in April 1983 and by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California on October 2012, which gave a period of 7.4 and 7.375±0.0030 hours with an amplitude of 0.25 and 0.49 magnitude, respectively (U=2/2).[14][18]

Lightcurve inversion also modeled the body's shape and poles. In 2013, modelling by an international study using photometric data from the US Naval Observatory, the Uppsala Asteroid Photometric Catalogue, the Palomar Transient Factory and the Catalina Sky Survey gave a concurring sidereal period of 7.37390±0.00002 hours and two spin axes of (325.0°, 23.0°) and (132.0°, 26.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β). The body's very elongated shape had already been indicated by the relatively high brightness variation measured during the direct photometric observations.[5][19]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, and the Japanese Akari satellite, Ceraskia measures (21.241±0.270), (26.24±1.3) and (30.38±0.56) kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of (0.207±0.025), (0.1532±0.016) and (30.38±0.56), respectively.[8][10][11] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.1368 and a diameter of 26.15 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.69.[7] Alternative mean-diameter measurements published by the WISE team include (21.361±0.302 km) and (22.83±1.91 km) with corresponding albedos of (0.2071±0.0485) and (0.222±0.091).[5][7]
