'''2011 Veteraniya''', provisional designation {{mp|1970 QB|1}}, is a stony Vestian [[asteroid]] from the inner regions of the [[asteroid belt]], approximately 6 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 30 August 1970, by Soviet astronomer [[Tamara Smirnova]] at the [[Crimean Astrophysical Observatory]], Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula, and named for the Soviet [[veterans]] of the Second World War.<ref name="springer" /><ref name="MPC-Veteraniya" />

== Classification and orbit ==

''Veteraniya'' is a member of the [[Vesta family]]. It orbits the Sun in the [[Kirkwood gap|inner]] main-belt at a distance of 2.0–2.7&nbsp;[[Astronomical unit|AU]] once every 3 years and 8 months (1,347 days). Its orbit has an [[orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.15 and an [[orbital inclination|inclination]] of 6[[Degree (angle)|°]] with respect to the [[ecliptic]].<ref name="jpldata" /> The first [[precovery]] was taken at [[Palomar Observatory]] in 1950, extending the asteroid's [[observation arc]] by 20 years prior to its discovery.<ref name="MPC-Veteraniya" />
 
== Physical characteristics ==

The ''Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link'' (CALL) and [[Pan-STARRS]]{{'}} large-scale survey classify it as a [[S-type asteroid|S-type]] and [[V-type asteroid]], respectively.<ref name="lcdb" /><ref name="Veres-2015" />

According to the survey carried out by the [[NEOWISE]] mission of NASA's space-based [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer]], the asteroid's surface has an exceptionally high albedo of 0.46 and a corresponding diameter of 5.2 kilometers,<ref name="WISE" /> while CALL assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20. CALL therefore calculates a larger diameter of 7.8 kilometers, as the lower the albedo (reflectivity), the higher the body's diameter at a constant absolute magnitude (brightness).<ref name="lcdb" />

A photometric [[lightcurve]] analysis by Japanese astronomer Sunao Hasegawa in 2004 has given a [[rotation period]] of {{val|8.209|0.005}} hours with a brightness amplitude of {{val|0.30}} in [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]].{{efn|name=lcdb-Hasegawa}}

== Naming ==

This [[minor planet]] was named in honor of the Soviet [[veteran]]s of the [[Great Patriotic War]].<ref name="springer" /> (The term is used in Russia to describe the conflict fought between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany on the Eastern Front of World War II during 1941–1945.) The official {{MoMP|2011|naming citation}} was published by the [[Minor Planet Center]] on 1 September 1978 ({{small|[[Minor Planet Circulars|M.P.C.]] 4481}}).<ref name="DoMP-Circular-dates" />
