    3642 Frieden, provisional designation 1953 XL1, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, approximately 35 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer Herta Gessner at Sonneberg Observatory on 4 December 1953. [10] It is named after the goddess of peace, Pax. [2]

    Orbit and classification

    Frieden orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.6–3.0  AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,700 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 13° with respect to the ecliptic. [1] The body was first identified as "1908 ED" at the U.S Taunton Observatory ( 803 ) in 1908, while its first used observation was made at the Belgian Uccle Observatory 1936, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 17 years prior to its official discovery. [10]

    Physical characteristics

    In the SMASS classification, Frieden is a carbonaceous C-type asteroid. [1]

    Diameter and albedo

    According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Frieden measures between 31.9 and 36.0 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.046 and 0.071. [3] [4] [5] [7] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.047 and a diameter of 35.1 kilometers, based on an absolute magnitude of 11.2. [6] Between 2019 and 2021, 3642 Frieden has been observed to occult four stars.

    Rotation period

    In April 2006, a rotational lightcurve of Frieden was obtained from photometric observations by American astronomer Brian Warner at his Palmer Divide Observatory ( 716 ), Colorado. It gave a well-defined rotation period of 14.491±0.003 hours with a brightness variation of 0.13±0.02 magnitude ( U=3 ). [8]

    Naming

    This minor planet was named after the German translation of the goddess Pax in the hope for peace (German : Frieden) around the world. [2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 2 February 1988 ( M.P.C. 12808). [11]
