4904 Makio, provisional designation 1989 WZ, is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Japanese astronomers Yoshikane Mizuno and Toshimasa Furuta at Kani Observatory (403) on 21 November 1989.[3] It was named after Japanese astronomer Makio Akiyama.[2]
Orbit and classification
Makio orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.1–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 8 months (1,348 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
It was first identified as 1974 TB at the Chilean Cerro El Roble Station in 1974, extending the body's observation arc by 15 years prior to its discovery.[3]
Physical characteristics
Makio has been characterized as a common S-type asteroid.[4]
Rotation period
A rotational lightcurve of Makio was obtained from photometric observations made by Julian Oey at the Australian Kingsgrove Observatory (E19) in March 2009. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 7.830 hours with a small brightness variation of 0.08 magnitude, indicative of a spheroidal shape ({{{1}}}).[7]
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Makio measures 7.0 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.33,[5][6] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 9.4 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.5.[4]
Naming
This minor planet was named after Japanese astronomer Makio Akiyama (born 1950), an observer and discoverer of minor planets himself at the Susono Observatory (886).[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 5 March 1996 (M.P.C. 26763).[9]
