Asterope (minor planet designation: 233 Asterope) is a large main-belt asteroid that was discovered on 11 May 1883, by French astronomer Alphonse Borrelly at Marseille Observatory in Marseille, France. The asteroid was named after Asterope (or Sterope), one of the Pleiades.

This asteroid is orbiting the Sun with a semimajor axis of 2.66 AU, a period of 4.34 years, and an eccentricity of 0.10. The orbital plane is inclined by 7.68° to the plane of the ecliptic. It is a rare T-type asteroid[3] and has a relatively dark surface. The spectrum of 233 Asterope bears a resemblance to Troilite, a sulfurous iron mineral found in most iron meteorites.[4]
Photometric observations during 1995 show a rotation period of 19.743 hours.[3] Measurements made with the IRAS observatory give a diameter of 109.56 ± 5.04 km and a geometric albedo of 0.08 ± 0.01. By comparison, the MIPS photometer on the Spitzer Space Telescope gives a diameter of 97.54 ± 10.32 km and a geometric albedo of 0.10 ± 0.01.[5]

(233) Астеропа (др.-греч. Ἀστερόπη) — довольно крупный астероид главного пояса, принадлежащий к редкому спектральному классу T[1]. Его спектр говорит о наличие в составе астероида троилита[en]*, особой формы сернистого железа, которая часто встречается в железных метеоритах[2]. Он был обнаружен 11 мая 1883 года французским астрономом Альфонсом Борелли в обсерватории Марселя и назван в честь плеяды по имени Астеропа, которая, согласно древнегреческой мифологии, дочь титана Атланта и океаниды Плейоны[3]. Стеропой (или Атеропой) также названа звезда в созвездии Тельца[4].Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
