1534 Näsi, provisional designation Template:Mp, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, approximately 20 kilometers in diameter.
It was discovered on 20 January 1939, by Finnish astronomer Yrjö Väisälä at Turku Observatory in Southwest Finland, and later named for the Finnish lake Näsijärvi.[1][2]
Orbit and classification
Näsi orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.0–3.4 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,646 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.25 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the ecliptic.[3] It was first identified as Template:Mp at Simeiz Observatory in 1915. The body's observation arc begins 15 years prior to its official discovery with its identification as Template:Mp at Heidelberg Observatory.[2]
Physical characteristics
Lightcurve observations
In April 2007, the so-far best rated rotational lightcurve of Näsi was obtained by Jason Sauppe at Oakley Observatory in the United States. The lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 7.94 hours with a brightness variation of 0.35 magnitude (U=3-Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".).[4]
Periods from other photometric observations were obtained by astronomers René Roy in May 2016 (5.98 hours, Δ0.47 mag, U=2+Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".),[5] Giovanni de Sanctis in the 1990s (9.75 hours, Δ0.22 mag, U=2Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".),[6] Adrián Galád in October 2005 (7.9338 hours, Δ0.51 mag, U=2-Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".),[7] and a period of 7.93161 hours modeled from various data sources and published in 2016 (U=n.a.Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".).[8]
Spectral type, diameter and albedo
In the SMASS taxonomy, the carbonaceous C-type asteroid is also classified as a Cgh-subtype. 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, Näsi measures between 18.32 and 27.52 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.035 and 0.100.[9][10][11][12][13] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0721 and a diameter of 22.11 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.75.[14]
Naming
This minor planet is named for the large Finnish lake Näsijärvi, sometimes called "Näsi". It measures 256 square kilometers (99 sq mi) in size and is located only 95 metres above sea level.[1] The official Template:MoMP was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 February 1976 (M.P.C. 3929Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".).[15]
