6980 Kyusakamoto, provisional designation 1993 SV1, is a stony Koronis asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 9 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Japanese astronomers Kin Endate and Kazuro Watanabe at Kitami Observatory on 16 September 1993.[8] The asteroid was named after Japanese singer Kyu Sakamoto.[2]

    Orbit and classification


    Kyusakamoto is a member of the Koronis family, which is named after 158 Koronis and consists of about 300 known bodies with nearly ecliptical orbits. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.7–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 9 months (1,743 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.05 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

    In November 1979, it was first identified as 1979 WH7 at Crimea–Nauchnij, extending the body's observation arc by 14 years prior to its official discovery observation at Kitami.[8]


    Physical characteristics



    Rotation period


    In August 2012, a rotational lightcurve of Kyusakamoto was obtained through photometric observations at the Palomar Transient Factory, California. The lightcurve showed a period of 3.2529±0.0042 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.40 in magnitude (U=2). In the Mould-R filter (R), a different photometric band, the observations rendered a nearly identical period of 3.2526±0.0042 hours with an amplitude of 0.41 (U=2).[6]


    Diameter and albedo


    According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's space-based Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Kyusakamoto measures 8.8 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a high albedo of 0.30,[4][5] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a stony albedo of 0.24 and calculates a slightly larger diameter of 9.0 kilometers.[3]


    Naming


    This minor planet was named in memory of Japanese popular singer Kyu Sakamoto (1941–1985), who died in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123, the deadliest single-aircraft accident in history. Adored as "Kyu-chan", he is best known for his hit, I Look Up As I Walk ("Sukiyaki"), which became a worldwide bestseller. The naming also refers to his collaborators Rokusuke Ei and Hachidai Nakamura, songwriter and pianist, respectively.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 5 October 1998 (M.P.C. 32789).[9]
