240 Vanadis is a fairly large main-belt asteroid with a diameter of around 100 km. It was discovered by Alphonse Borrelly on August 27, 1884, in Marseille and was named after Freyja (Vanadis), the Norse fertility goddess. The asteroid is orbiting the Sun at a distance of Script error: No such module "val". with a period of Script error: No such module "convert". and an orbital eccentricity of 0.206. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 2.10° to the plane of the ecliptic.[1]
Photometric observations of the asteroid made during 2022 were used to produce a light curve that showed a rotation period of Script error: No such module "val". with a brightness variation of Script error: No such module "val". in magnitude. This is consistent with earlier estimates.[2] It is very dark and is classified as a C-type asteroid, probably composed of primitive carbonaceous material.
