1276 Ucclia (prov. designation 1933 BA ) is a carbonaceous Alauda asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt , approximately 31 kilometers (19 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 24 January 1933 by Belgian astronomer Eugène Delporte at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Uccle.[ 15] Richard Schorr at Bergedorf Observatory in Hamburg, Germany. It was named for the Belgium city of Uccle and its discovering observatory.[ 2]
Orbit and classification
Ucclia is a member of the Alauda family (902 [ 4] family of typically bright carbonaceous asteroids named after its parent body, 702 Alauda .[ 16] : 23 outer main-belt at a distance of 2.9–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 8 months (2,069 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.09 and an inclination of 23° with respect to the ecliptic .[ 1] precoveries were taken prior to its discovery.[ 15]
Naming
This minor planet was named after Uccle , in honor of both, the city and the discovering observatory (H 117 [ 2]
Physical characteristics
Rotation period
A rotational lightcurve of Ucclia was obtained from photometric observations by Italian and French astronomers Silvano Casulli , Federico Manzini and Pierre Antonini in March 2007. It showed a well-defined rotation period of 68 magnitude (U=3 [ 13] Adrián Galád at Modra Observatory , gave a concurring period of U=3- [ 11]
Diameter and albedo
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, Ucclia measures between 30.1 and 40.0 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.05 and 0.14.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 9] Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.08 and a diameter of 30.3 kilometers.[ 3]
