1623 Vivian
1623 Vivian, provisional designation 1948 PL, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 27 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by South African astronomer Ernest Johnson at Union Observatory, Johannesburg on 9 August 1948.〔 The asteroid is a member of the Themis family, a large group of asteroids in the outer main-belt. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,036 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.16 and is nearly coplanar to the plane of the ecliptic, inclined by 2 degrees, which is typical for Themistian asteroids. The C-type body has a relatively long rotation period of 20.52 hours〔〔 and an albedo of about 0.08.〔〔 It was named in honor of Vivian Hirst, daughter of British astronomer William P. Hirst, receiver of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa's Gill Medal and after whom the minor planet 3172 Hirst is named. Hirst calculated the preliminary orbit for this and several other minor planets discovered by Ernest Johnson.〔 == References ==
