    The asteroid was discovered on 21 October 1982, by Russian astronomer Lyudmila Karachkina at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnij on the Crimean peninsula.[7] It was later named for surgeon Vladimir Filatov.[2]

    Orbit and classification

    Filatov orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 3.1–3.2 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,050 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.02 and an inclination of 15° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The body's observation arc begins at Nauchnij, 2 days after its official discovery observation.[7]

    Physical characteristics

    Potentially slow rotator

    In November 2010, a rotational lightcurve of Filatov was obtained from photometric observations in the R-band at the Palomar Transient Factory in California. It gave an exceptionally long rotation period of 1061 hours with a brightness variation of 0.07 magnitude (U=1).[5]

    However, the fragmentary lightcurve has received a low quality rating by the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link which means that the result could be completely wrong (also see potentially slow rotator).[3][5]

    Diameter and albedo

    According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Filatov measures 45.69 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has an albedo of 0.019,[4] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 22.95 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 11.92.[3]

    Naming

    This minor planet was named in honor of Vladimir Filatov (1875–1956), a Russian and Ukrainian ophthalmologist and surgeon.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 September 1993 (M.P.C. 22508).[8]
