749 Malzovia (prov. designation: Template:Mp or Template:Mp) is a stony background asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter. It was discovered on 5 April 1913, by Russian astronomer Sergey Belyavsky at the Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula.[1] The elongated S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 5.9 hours. It was named after Russian amateur astronomer Nikolai Maltsov (S. I. Maltsov) who founded the discovering Simeïs Observatory in 1900.[2]

Orbit and classification

Located in the region of the Flora family (402Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".),[3] a giant asteroid family and the largest family of stony asteroids, Malzovia is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.[4][5][6] It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,228 days; semi-major axis of 2.24 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic.[7] The body's observation arc begins at the German Heidelberg Observatory on 30 April 1913, or 25 days after its official discovery observation at Simeiz Observatory.[1]

Naming

This minor planet was named after Russian amateur astronomer Nikolai Sergeevich Maltsov (S. I. Malzov) who founded the discovering Simeiz Observatory, which he later donated to the Pulkovo Observatory in 1911. Malzov was a close friend of Sergey Belyavsky and of Oskar Backlund, after whom asteroid 856 Backlunda was named. After World War I, Malzov lived at Menton, on the French Riviera near Italy. The Template:MoMP was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 75Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".).[2]

Physical characteristics

In the Tholen and Bus–Binzel SMASS classification, Malzovia is a common, stony S-type asteroid.[7]

Rotation period

In February 2020, a rotational lightcurve of Malzovia was obtained from photometric observations by French amateur astronomer René Roy. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of (Script error: No such module "val".) hours with a high brightness variation of Script error: No such module "val". magnitude, indicative of its elongated shape (U=3Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".).[8] Alternative period determinations by Julian Oey and Frederick Pilcher in May 2014 gave very similar results of (Script error: No such module "val".) and (Script error: No such module "val".) hours, respectively, both with an amplitude of 0.30 magnitude (U=3−/3−Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".).[9][10]Template:Efn

Poles

Published in 2018, thermophysical modeling of Malzovia from thermal data obtained from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) gave a sidereal period of (Script error: No such module "val".) and two spin axes at (53.0°, 37.0°) and (242.0°, 46.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).[11] Previously, two lightcurves published in 2016, using modeled photometric data from the Lowell Photometric Database (LPD) and other sources, gave a period of (Script error: No such module "val".) and Script error: No such module "val". hours, respectively. Each modeled lightcurve also determined two poles at (53.0°, 37.0°) and (242.0°, 46.0°), as well as (55.0°, 46.0°) and (246.0°, 55.0°), respectively.[12][13]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's WISE telescope, Malzovia measures (Script error: No such module "val".) and (Script error: No such module "val".) kilometers in diameter and its surface has a low albedo of (Script error: No such module "val".) and (Script error: No such module "val".), respectively.[14][15][16]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 and calculates a diameter of 12.98 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.6.[3] The WISE team also published several alternative mean-diameters of (Script error: No such module "val".), (Script error: No such module "val".) and (Script error: No such module "val".), with a corresponding albedo of (Script error: No such module "val".), (Script error: No such module "val".) and (Script error: No such module "val".).[5][3]
