    2423 Ibarruri, provisional designation 1972 NC, is an eccentric, tumbling and rare-type asteroid, classified as slow rotator and sizable Mars-crosser from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 5 kilometers in diameter.

    Contents

    The asteroid was discovered by Russian–Ukrainian astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravleva at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on 14 July 1972. [4] It was named after Spanish communist Rubén Ruiz Ibárruri. [2]

    Orbit and classification

    Ibarruri orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.6–2.8  AU once every 3 years and 3 months (1,183 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.28 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic. [1]

    Physical characteristics

    The spectral type of the asteroid is that of a rare A-type in the SMASS taxonomy, with its surface consisting of almost pure olivine, which gives the body a very reddish color. As of November 2015, only 17 minor planets of this type are known. [12]

    As a spectroscopic A-type asteroid, it belongs to the larger group of bodies with a silicaceous composition. However, the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link classifies the asteroid into the carbonaceous group, despite the fact that is assumes a relatively high geometric albedo of 0.20, [3] which is rather typical for stony asteroids.

    Slow rotator and tumbler

    Ibarruri has a notably slow rotation period of 140 hours, [lower-alpha 1] [7] and seems to be in a non-principal axis rotation (NPAR), colloquially called as "tumbling". [13]

    Naming

    This minor planet was named after Rubén Ruiz Ibárruri (1920–1942), son of Spanish communist leader Dolores Ibárruri and a posthumous Hero of the Soviet Union. He enlisted in the Soviet army and died in the early stage of the Battle of Stalingrad in September 1942. [2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 8 February 1982 ( M.P.C. 6649). [14]
