    It was discovered on 25 October 1973, by astronomer Paul Wild at Zimmerwald Observatory near Bern, Switzerland, and named after Swiss General Henri Guisan.[2][10]


    Orbit and classification


    Guisan orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.2–2.8 AU once every 4.02 years (1,467 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 8° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]


    Physical characteristics


    Guisan has been characterized as a dark C-type asteroid.[3]

    It has a rotation period of 8.46 hours[9] and a geometric albedo of 0.04–0.05, as measured by the IRAS, Akari, WISE and NEOWISE surveys.[4][5][7][8]


    Naming


    This minor planet was named in memory of Henri Guisan (1874–1960), general of the Swiss army during the Second World War. He was notably from the country's smaller Swiss-French part rather than from the German-speaking part.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 18 April 1977 (M.P.C. 4157).[11]
