Main-belt asteroid
276 Adelheid is a dark Alauda asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt , approximately 121 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa at Vienna Observatory on 17 April 1888.[ 24] The meaning of the asteroids's name is unknown.[ 3]
Adelheid is a member of the Alauda family (902 ),[ 5] a large family of typically bright carbonaceous asteroids and named after its parent body, 702 Alauda .[ 25] : 23
Physical characteristics [ edit ] Photometric observations in 1992 gave a lightcurve with a period of 6.328 ± 0.012 hours and a brightness variation of 0.10 ± 0.02 in magnitude . The curve is regular with two maxima and minima.[ 4]
In the Tholen classification , its spectrum has been characterized as that of an X-type asteroid ,[ 1] while polarimetric observations refined its classification to a primitive P-type .[ 4] [ 23]
Any reference of this minor planet 's name to a person or occurrence is unknown.[ 3]
Among the many thousands of named minor planets , Adelheid is one of 120 asteroids, for which no official naming citation has been published. All of these low-numbered asteroids have numbers between 164 Eva and 1514 Ricouxa and were discovered between 1876 and the 1930s, predominantly by astronomers Auguste Charlois , Johann Palisa , Max Wolf and Karl Reinmuth .[ 26]
