1500 Jyväskylä (Script error: No such module "IPA".; provisional designation Template:Mp) is a stony Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 7 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 16 October 1938, by Finnish astronomer Yrjö Väisälä at the Turku Observatory in Southwest Finland.[1] It was named for the Finnish town Jyväskylä.[2]
Classification and orbit
Jyväskylä is a member of the Flora family, a large collisional group of stony asteroids. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.8–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,227 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic.[3] The body's observation arc begins at Turku, 3 weeks prior to its official discovery observation.[1]
Physical characteristics
In 2016, Jyväskylä's modeled lightcurve was derived from data contained in the Lowell photometric database. Lightcurve analysis revealed a rotation period of 8.8275 hours and a spin axis of (123°, −75.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (U=n.a.Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".).[4]
According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, the asteroid measures between 7.39 and 8.095 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an albedo between 0.161 and 0.31.[5][6][7] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora, the largest member and namesake of this family – and calculates a diameter of 6.63 kilometers, using an absolute magnitude of 13.06.[8]
Naming
This minor planet was named for the Finnish town Jyväskylä.[2] It is the largest city in the region of Central Finland and on the Finnish Lakeland. The official Template:MoMP was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 February 1976 (M.P.C. 3928Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".).[9]
