1301 Yvonne (prov. designation: 1934 EA) is a carbonaceous background asteroid from the background population of the intermediate asteroid belt, approximately 21 kilometers (13 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 7 March 1934, by French astronomer Louis Boyer at the Algiers Observatory in North Africa. [17] The asteroid was named for the discoverer's sister, Yvonne Boyer
Yvonne is a non-family of the main belt's background population. [4] It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.0–3.5 AU once every 4 years and 7 months (1,682 days; semi-major axis of 2.77 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.27 and an inclination of 34° with respect to the ecliptic. [1] The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Algiers in March 1934. [17]
This minor planet was named after Yvonne Boyer, sister of discoverer. The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 ( H 101 ). [2]
In the SMASS classification, Yvonne is a carbonaceous C-type asteroid. [1] PanSTARRS photometric survey also characterized the asteroid as a C-type. [16]
Between 2003 and 2017, four rotational lightcurves of Yvonne have been obtained from photometric observations. [12] [13] [14] Analysis gave a consolidated rotation period of 7.320 hours with a brightness amplitude between 0.52 and 0.90 magnitude ( U=3/3/3/3 ). [3] In 2011, a modeled lightcurve using data from the Uppsala Asteroid Photometric Catalogue (UAPC) and other sources gave a concurring period 7.31968±0.00005 hours, as well as a spin axis of (39.0°, 41.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β). [15]
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Yvonne measures between 18.693 and 22.77 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.10 and 0.201. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.1054 (which is untypically high for a carbonaceous body) and a diameter of 22.50 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.3. [3]
