1626 Sadeya (provisional designation 1927 AA ) is a stony Phocaea asteroid and binary system from the inner regions of the asteroid belt , approximately 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 10 January 1927, by Catalan astronomer Josep Comas i Solà at Fabra Observatory in Barcelona, Spain, and named after the Spanish and American Astronomical Society .[ 1] [ 2] The discovery of a companion was announced on 1 December 2020.[ 6]
Orbit and classification
The stony S-type asteroid is a member of the Phocaea family (701 ),[ 4] a group of asteroids with rather high inclinations between 18° and 32°. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.7–3.0 AU once every 3 years and 8 months (1,327 days; semi-major axis of 2.36 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.27 and an inclination of 25° with respect to the ecliptic .[ 5] Sadeya's observation arc begins 2 months after its official discovery with a precovery taken at Yerkes Observatory .[ 1]
Naming
This minor planet was named after the Spanish and American Astronomical Society , also known by its acronym "S.A.D.E.Y.A." (Spanish: Sociedad Astrónomica de España y América ). It was founded by Comas i Solà, who also was its first president.[ 2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 30 January 1964 (M.P.C. 2277 ).[ 16]
Physical characteristics
Rotation period
Sadeya has a well-defined rotation period between 3.414 and 3.438 hours with a change in brightness between 0.07 and 0.22 in magnitude (U=2+/3-/3 ). These numerous rotational lightcurves were obtained by ESO astronomers, Julian Oey, Pierre Antonini , Ramon Naves, Enric Forné, Hilari Pallares, Brian Warner and Vladimir Benishek between 1996 and 2014.[ 11] [ 12] [ 13] [ 14] [ 15]
Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Sadeya measures between 14.25 and 15.14 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an albedo between 0.30 and 0.512.[ 7] [ 8] [ 9] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a lower albedo of 0.23 – derived from 25 Phocaea , the namesake of the Phocaea family – and calculates a diameter of 15.95 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 11.2.[ 3]
Satellite
On 1 December 2020, the discovery of a satellite in orbit of Sadeya was announced by Vladimir Benishek, Petr Pravec , and several other collaborators. The minor-planet moon measures approximately 3.81 kilometers (2.4 miles) in diameter, or 26% that of its primary, and has an orbital period of about 51.3 hours.[ 6]
