2436 Hatshepsut /hætˈʃɛpsʊt/, provisional designation 6066 P-L, is a Hygiean asteroid from the outer asteroid belt, approximately 19 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Cornelis van Houten, Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld and Tom Gehrels at Palomar Observatory on 24 September 1960.[6] It was named for pharaoh Hatshepsut.[2]
Orbit and characterization
Hatshepsut is a member of the Hygiea family (601),[4] a very large family of carbonaceous outer-belt asteroids, named after the fourth-largest asteroid, 10 Hygiea.[7] It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.9–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 8 months (2,072 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic. Its orbit is only slightly eccentric and not much inclined to the ecliptic. The asteroid rotates around its axis every 9 hours.[1]
Survey designation
Naming
This minor planet named after the only female pharaoh to reign over ancient Egypt, Hatshepsut.[2] The approved naming citation was published on 22 September 1983 (M.P.C. 8153).[8]
