'''4265 Kani''' (1989 TX) is a [[Asteroid belt|main-belt]] [[asteroid]] discovered on October 8, 1989 by [[Yoshikane Mizuno]] and [[Toshimasa Furuta]] at Kani Observatory ([[List of observatory codes|403]]).<ref name="jpldata" />
'''4265 Kani''', provisional designation 1989 TX, is a carbonaceous [[asteroid]] from the inner regions of the [[asteroid belt]], about 14 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Japanese astronomers [[Yoshikane Mizuno]] and [[Toshimasa Furuta]] at Kani Observatory ({{small|[[IAU code#400–499|403]]}}) on 8 October 1989.<ref name="MPC-Kani" /> The [[C-type asteroid|C-type]] asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.9–2.9&nbsp;[[Astronomical unit|AU]] once every 3 years and 9 months (1,382 days). Its orbit shows an [[orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of 0.20 and an [[orbital inclination|inclination]] of 4 degrees from the plane of the [[ecliptic]].<ref name="jpldata" />


[[Photometry (astronomy)|Photometric]] observations of this asteroid carried out from Golden Hill Observatory in [[Stourton Caundle]] and Palmer Divide Observatory in [[Colorado Springs, Colorado]] produced a [[light curve]] with a period of 5.7279 ± 0.0002 hours and a brightness variation of 0.75 ± 0.02 in [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]].<ref name="MilesWarner2009" />
[[Photometry (astronomy)|Photometric]] observations of this asteroid carried out from Golden Hill Observatory in [[Stourton Caundle]] and Palmer Divide Observatory in [[Colorado Springs, Colorado]] produced a [[light-curve]] with a [[rotation period]] for the asteroid of {{val|5.7279|0.0001}} hours and a brightness variation of 0.75 ± 0.02 in [[Magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]] ({{small|1=[[LCDB quality code|U]]=3-}}).<ref name="Miles-2009" />{{efn|name=lcdb-Pravec}} Observations at the [[Palomar Transient Factory]] and revised shape-models have since confirmed the body's rotation period.<ref name="Waszczak-2015" /><ref name="Hanus-2015b" />

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese [[Akari (satellite)|Akari]] satellite and the [[NEOWISE]] mission of NASA's [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer]], the asteroid measures 15.7 and 14.2 kilometers in diameter, respectively.<ref name="AKARI" /><ref name="WISE" /> Conversely, the ''Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link'' calculates a diameter of only 7.5 kilometers, due to an assumed albedo of 0.20, which is untypically high for [[C-type asteroid|carbonaceous]] asteroids.<ref name="lcdb" />

The minor planet was named for the Japanese city of [[Kani, Gifu|Kani]], a quiet, rural city and home of the discoverer. It is situated about 30 kilometers north of Nagoya, the third largest city in Japan. Kani is located on the banks of the beautiful river Kiso, which is said to resemble the Rhine in Germany.<ref name="springer" />

4265 Kani, provisional designation 1989 TX, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, about 14 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Japanese astronomers Yoshikane Mizuno and Toshimasa Furuta at Kani Observatory (403) on 8 October 1989.[9] The C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.9–2.9 AU once every 3 years and 9 months (1,382 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.20 and an inclination of 4 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic.[1]

Photometric observations of this asteroid carried out from Golden Hill Observatory in Stourton Caundle and Palmer Divide Observatory in Colorado Springs, Colorado produced a light-curve with a rotation period for the asteroid of 5.7279±0.0001 hours and a brightness variation of 0.75 ± 0.02 in magnitude (U=3-).[6][a] Observations at the Palomar Transient Factory and revised shape-models have since confirmed the body's rotation period.[7][8]

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures 15.7 and 14.2 kilometers in diameter, respectively.[4][5] Conversely, the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link calculates a diameter of only 7.5 kilometers, due to an assumed albedo of 0.20, which is untypically high for carbonaceous asteroids.[3]

The minor planet was named for the Japanese city of Kani, a quiet, rural city and home of the discoverer. It is situated about 30 kilometers north of Nagoya, the third largest city in Japan. Kani is located on the banks of the beautiful river Kiso, which is said to resemble the Rhine in Germany.[2]
