161 Athor is an M-type Main belt asteroid that was discovered by James Craig Watson on April 19, 1876, at the Detroit Observatory[1] and named after Hathor, an Egyptian fertility goddess. It is the namesake of a proposed Athor asteroid family, estimated to be ~3 billion years old.[2]
Photometric observations of the minor planet in 2010 gave a rotation period of Template:Val with an amplitude of Template:Val in magnitude. This result is consistent with previous determinations.[3] An occultation by Athor was observed, on October 15, 2002, showing an estimated diameter of Template:Convert.[4] The spectra is similar to that of carbonaceous chondrites, with characteristics of ferric oxides and little or no hydrated minerals.[5]
