Fraternitas (minor planet designation: 309 Fraternitas) is a typical Main belt asteroid.[2] It was discovered by Johann Palisa on 6 April 1891 in Vienna.
Analysis of the asymmetric bimodal light curve of the asteroid from photometric data collected during 2014 provide a rotation period of 22.398±0.001 h with a brightness variation of 0.12±0.01 in magnitude.[3]
