Istria (minor planet designation: 183 Istria) is a stony background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 33 kilometers (21 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 8 February 1878, by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa at the Austrian Naval Observatory in Pola, in what is now Croatia.[1] The S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 11.77 hours.[13] It was named for the Istrian Peninsula.[2]

Orbit and classification

Istria is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population.[4][5] It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 1.8–3.8 AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,703 days; semi-major axis of 2.79 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.35 and an inclination of 26° with respect to the ecliptic.[3]

Physical characteristics

Istria has been characterized as a common, stony S-type asteroid in both the Tholen and SMASS classification.[3]

Rotation period

In August 1979, a rotational lightcurve of Istria was obtained from photometric observations by American astronomer Alain Harris. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 11.77 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.31 magnitude ({{{1}}}).[12] Observations by French amateur astronomer Laurent Bernasconi gave a similar period of 11.6 hours ({{{1}}}).[11]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Istria measures between 30.779 and 35.43 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.1890 and 0.2582.[7][8][9][10]

Naming

This minor planet was named after the Istrian Peninsula in the Adriatic Sea, where the city of Pula (then Pola) with its discovering observatory is located. A the time the peninsula was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The asteroid's name was given by Vice-Admiral Bernhard von Wüllerstorf-Urbair, who is known as the captain of the first Austrian circumnavigatory adventure with the sail frigate SMS Novara.[2] The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 183).[2]
