    13241 Biyo, provisional designation 1998 KM41, is a background asteroid from the Flora region of the inner asteroid belt, approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 22 May 1998, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research team (LINEAR) at the U.S. Lincoln Laboratory Experimental Test Site in Socorro, New Mexico. The presumed S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 4.4 hours and likely an elongated shape. [6] It was later named after Filipino educator Josette Biyo. [1]

    Orbit and classification

    Biyo is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements. [2] [7] Based on osculating Keplerian orbital elements, the asteroid has also been classified as a member of the Flora family ( 402 ), a giant asteroid clan and the largest family of stony asteroids in the main-belt. [4]

    It orbits the Sun in the inner asteroid belt at a distance of 2.1–2.4  AU once every 3 years and 5 months (1,252 days; semi-major axis of 2.27 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.06 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic. [3] It was first identified as 1975 UB1 at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in 1975, extending the body's observation arc by 23 years prior to its official discovery observation at Socorro. [1]

    Naming

    This minor planet was named after Josette Biyo (born 1958), a Filipino educator, former executive director of the Philippine Science High School System and now the director of Department of Science and Technology- Science Education Institute. [8] The naming was part of the International Excellence in Teaching Award she received during the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2002, when she was a teacher at the Philippine Science High School in Iloilo, Philippines. Biyo was the first Asian teacher to win the Intel Excellence in Teaching Award. [1] [9] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 24 July 2002 ( M.P.C. 46109). [10]

    Physical characteristics

    Rotation and shape

    In March 2011, a rotational lightcurve of Biyo was obtained from photometric observations by Italian astronomers at the Virginio Cesarini Observatory ( 157 ) in Frasso Sabino, Italy. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 4.4 hours (twice the original reported period solution of 2.199±0.219 in the R-band) with a brightness amplitude of 0.99 magnitude, which indicates that the body has an elongated, non-spheroidal shape ( U=2 ). The Italian astronomers also determined a V–R color of 0.38. [6]

    Diameter and albedo

    For this asteroid, no observational data has been gathered by the space-based telescopes (IRAS, Akari and WISE) that surveyed large portions of the asteroid belt. [3] [4] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo for a stony asteroid of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora, the largest member and namesake of the Flora family – and calculates a diameter of 3.92 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 14.2.
