4997 Ksana, provisional designation 1986 TM, is a carbonaceous Palladian asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 6 October 1986, by Russian astronomer Lyudmila Karachkina at Crimean Astrophysical Observatory on the Crimean peninsula.[12] The asteroid was named for Russian chemist Kseniya Nessler.[2]

Orbit and classification

[edit]

Ksana is a small member of the Pallas family (801), a small asteroid family of carbonaceous B-type asteroids.[4][13]: 23  It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 1.9–3.8 AU once every 4 years and 10 months (1,778 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.33 and an inclination of 33° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] As no precoveries were taken, the asteroid's observation arc begins with its discovery observation in 1986.[12]

Physical characteristics

[edit]

On the SMASS taxonomic scheme, Ksana is a B-type asteroid, which are primitive, volatile-rich asteroids.[1] This also agrees with the overall spectral type of the Pallas family.[13]: 23 

Diameter and albedo

[edit]

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Ksana measures between 7.36 and 10±1 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.16 and 0.316.[5][6][7][8][9]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and calculates a larger diameter of 14.64 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.9.[3]

Rotation period

[edit]

In February 2007, a rotational lightcurve of Ksana was obtained from photometric observations by Italian astronomer Federico Manzini at the SAS observatory in Novara, Italy. It gave it a rotation period of 3.4342±0.0003 hours with a brightness variation of 0.21 in magnitude (U=2).[10]

Naming

[edit]

This minor planet was named by the discoverer for his friend, the Russian chemist Kseniya Andreevna Nessler, who has been an advocate against environmental pollution. The asteroid's name "Ksana" is a variation of Kseniya (Ксения), the equivalent to the romanized Xenia.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 September 1993 (M.P.C. 22505 and 22609).[14]
