    The asteroid was discovered on 21 March 1993, during the Uppsala-ESO Survey of Asteroids and Comets (UESAC) at the ESO's La Silla Observatory site in northern Chile.[8] It is UESAC's lowest numbered discoveries (among more than 1,100 asteroids). It was named for the Swedish town of Visby.[2]


    Orbit and classification


    Visby is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population. It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.2–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 2 months (1,530 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] A first precovery was taken at Palomar Observatory in 1989, extending the body's observation arc by 4 years prior to its official discovery observation at La Silla.[8]


    Naming


    This minor planet was named after Visby, a Swedish town on the island of Gotland, known for its medieval and Hanseatic history (also see List of Gotland-related asteroids).[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 28 September 1999 (M.P.C. 36126).[9]


    Physical characteristics


    Visby has been characterized as a common S-type asteroid by PanSTARRS' photometric survey.


    Rotation period


    A rotational lightcurve of Visby was obtained from photometric observations at the Palomar Transient Factory in February 2013. It gave a rotation period of 3.28±0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.28 in magnitude (U=2+).[6]


    Diameter and albedo


    According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Visby measures 4.5 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.29,[3][4] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 5.2 kilometers.[5]

    (6102) Visby ist ein Asteroid des mittleren Hauptgürtels. Er wurde am 21. März 1993 im Rahmen des Uppsala-ESO Surveys of Asteroids and Comets am La-Silla-Observatorium der Europäischen Südsternwarte in Chile (IAU-Code 809) entdeckt. Sichtungen des Asteroiden hatte es vorher schon mehrere gegeben, zum Beispiel vom 10. bis 14. Oktober 1990 unter der vorläufigen Bezeichnung 1990 TV11 am Karl-Schwarzschild-Observatorium in Tautenburg und am 31. Dezember 1991 (1991 YQ2) an der auf dem Kitt Peak gelegenen Außenstation des Steward Observatory.[1]
