摘要:

直径大于150米的小行星,其自转周期一般不会小于2.2小时。这种自旋截止被认为是由于小行星的引力束缚碎石堆结构。超过这个临界值的旋转周期将导致小行星分裂。到目前为止,只有一个物体,2001 OE84,被发现是这个自旋截止的例外。我们报道了一个新的超快自转体(335433)2005 UW 163的发现,它的自转周期为1.290小时,光变曲线变化为$r'\sim0.8$等。其$H_{r'} = 17.69 \pm 0.27$ mag和多波段颜色(即,$g'-r' = 0.68\pm0.03$ mag、$r'-i' = 0.19\pm0.02$ mag和SDSS $i-z = -0.45$ mag)显示它是一颗直径为$0.6 +0.3/-0.2$ km的V型小行星。这表明(335433)2005 UW 163是一个超快的旋转体,超越了小型单体小行星的范围。

英文摘要:

Asteroids of size larger than 150 m generally do not have rotation periods smaller than 2.2 hours. This spin cutoff is believed to be due to the gravitationally bound rubble-pile structures of the asteroids. Rotation with periods exceeding this critical value will cause asteroid breakup. Up until now, only one object, 2001 OE84, has been found to be an exception to this spin cutoff. We report the discovery of a new super-fast rotator, (335433) 2005 UW163, spinning with a period of 1.290 hours and a lightcurve variation of $r'\sim0.8$ mag from the observations made at the P48 telescope and the P200 telescope of the Palomar Observatory. Its $H_{r'} = 17.69 \pm 0.27$ mag and multi-band colors (i.e., $g'-r' = 0.68\pm0.03$ mag, $r'-i' = 0.19\pm0.02$ mag and SDSS $i-z = -0.45$ mag) show it is a V-type asteroid with a diameter of $0.6 +0.3/-0.2$ km. This indicates (335433) 2005 UW163 is a super-fast rotator beyond the regime of the small monolithic asteroid.
