    3710 Bogoslovskij, provisionally known as 1978 RD6, is a rare-type asteroid from the central region of the asteroid belt, approximately 11 kilometers in diameter.

    Contents

    It was discovered on 13 September 1978, by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Chernykh at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula, and named for Russian composer Nikita Bogoslovskij. [2] [4]

    Orbit and characterization

    Bogoslovskij orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.3–3.2  AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,658 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 14° with respect to the ecliptic. [1]

    In the SMASS classification, Bogoslovskij is an uncommon Cgh-type, which belongs to the broader class of carbonaceous asteroids. [1] As of 2017, no rotational lightcurve has been obtained. The body's rotation period, poles and shape remain unknown. [5]

    Naming

    This minor planet was named in honor of Nikita Bogoslovskij (1913–2004), Russian writer and contemporary composer, on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. [2] The approved naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 September 1993 ( M.P.C. 22499). [6]
