1460 Haltia, provisional designation 1937 WC, is a stony background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 24 November 1937, by Finnish astronomer Yrjö Väisälä at the Iso-Heikkilä Observatory in Turku, Finland.[10] The asteroid was named after Halti (Haltia), Finland's highest peak on the border to Norway.[2]

    Orbit and classification


    Haltia is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population.[3] It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.1–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 1 month (1,481 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Turku.[10]


    Physical characteristics


    Haltia is an assumed stony S-type asteroid.[7]


    Rotation period


    Two rotational lightcurves of Haltia were obtained from photometric observations by astronomers Henk de Groot, Raoul Behrend and René Roy. Lightcurve analysis gave a respective rotation period of 3.58682 and 3.588 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.32 magnitude (U=3-/3).[8] The Lightcurve Data Base adopts a consolidated period of 3.59 hours.[7]


    Diameter and albedo


    According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Haltia measures between 6.57 and 8.44 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.186 and 0.36.[4][5][6]

    The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 8.97 based on an absolute magnitude of 12.6.[7]


    Naming


    This minor planet was named after Halti (Haltia), the highest Finnish peak at 1,365 metres (4,478 ft) located on the border between Norway and Finland.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 February 1976 (M.P.C. 3928).[11]
