1741 Giclas
1741 Giclas, provisional designation 1960 BC, is a stony asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 14 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by the Indiana Asteroid Program at the U.S. Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana, on 26 January 1960.〔 The S-type asteroid is a member of the Koronis family, a group consisting of about 200 known bodies. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 11 months (1,788 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.07 and is tilted by 3 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 2.9 hours〔〔〔 and an albedo of about 0.26, based on observations carried out by the space-based Akari and WISE missions.〔〔 It was named in honour of American astronomer Henry Lee Giclas (1910–2007), longtime staff member of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, where he discovered 17 minor planets and the comet 84P/Giclas. Giclas responsibility included the programs of minor planet positions and stellar proper motions, using the ''13-inch Lawrence Lowell Telescope''.〔 == References ==
