1405 Sibelius, provisional designation 1936 RE, is a stony Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 12 September 1936, by Finnish astronomer Yrjö Väisälä at Turku Observatory in Southwest Finland.[11] The asteroid was named after composer Jean Sibelius.[2]

Orbit and classification

Sibelius is a member of the Flora family, one of the largest populations of stony asteroids in the entire main-belt. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 5 months (1,234 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The body's observation arc begins with an observation taken at Turku two weeks prior to its official discovery observation.[11]

Physical characteristics

Sibelius has been characterized as an S-type asteroid by Pan-STARRS photometric survey.[10]

Rotation period

In October 2007, a rotational lightcurve of Sibelius was obtained from photometric observations taken by Petr Pravec at the Ondřejov Observatory in the Czech Republic. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 6.051 hours with a brightness variation of 0.11 magnitude ({{{1}}}).[lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Sibelius measures between 6.21 and 12.18 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.14 and 0.48.[4][5][6][8][9] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts an albedo of 0.3191 and a diameter of 7.20 kilometers from Petr Pravec's revised WISE thermal observations.[3][7]

Naming

This minor planet was named for Jean Sibelius (1865–1957), Finnish violinist and composer of the late Romantic and early-modern periods.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 February 1976 (M.P.C. 3928).[12]
