1341 Edmée, provisional designation 1935 BA, is a rare-type metallic asteroid from the central region of the asteroid belt, approximately 27 kilometers in diameter.

It was discovered on 27 January 1935, by Belgian astronomer Eugène Joseph Delporte at Uccle Observatory in Belgium, and later named after French astronomer Édmée Chandon.[2][13]

Orbit and classification

Edmée orbits the Sun in the middle main-belt at a distance of 2.5–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,658 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 13° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] In 1917 it was first identified as A917 DA at Heidelberg Observatory. The body's observation arc begins at Uccle, on the night following its official discovery observation in 1935.[13]

Physical characteristics

Edmée is classified as a rare XB-type in the Tholen taxonomy, an intermediary between the X and B type asteroids.[1][3]

Rotation period

American astronomer Robert Stephens obtained several rotational lightcurves of Edmée between 2004 and 2014. Best rated results include an observation taken at the Goat Mountain Research Observatory (G79) during the body's 2009-opposition, which gave a rotation period of 23.745 hours with a brightness variation of 0.05 magnitude (U=2+),[10] superseding an alternative period solution of 11.89 (U=2).[9]

Because Edmée's rotation is similar to that of Earth, photometric observations are challenging.[11][a] In 2013, a much shorter period was derived from a fragmentary lightcurve at the Palomar Transient Factory in California (U=1).[8]

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, Edmée measures between 23.86 and 27.49 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an albedo between 0.137 and 0.182.[4][5][6][7] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopt the results from IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.1371 and a diameter of 27.49 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 10.58.[3]

Naming

This minor planet was named in honour of French astronomer Édmée Chandon.[2] Naming citation was first mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 122).[2]
