1444 Pannonia, provisional designation 1938 AE, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 28 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Hungarian astronomer György Kulin at Konkoly Observatory in Budapest on 6 January 1938.[10]
The C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,043 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.14 and is tilted by 18 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 10.756 hours and an albedo of around 0.05 according to the surveys carried out by IRAS, Akari, WISE and NEOWISE, with the IRAS figure being an outlier.[4][5][6][7]
The minor planet was named after the ancient province of the Roman Empire, Pannonia, which was partially located over the territory of the present-day western Hungary.[2]
