749 Malzovia (prov. designation: A913 GD or 1913 RF) is a stony background asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 5 April 1913, by Russian astronomer Sergey Belyavsky at the Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula.[1] The elongated S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 5.9 hours. It was named after Russian amateur astronomer Nikolai Maltsov (S. I. Maltsov) who founded the discovering Simeïs Observatory in 1900.[2]

    Orbit and classification


    Located in the region of the Flora family (402),[12] a giant asteroid family and the largest family of stony asteroids, Malzovia is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.[4][5][6] It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,228 days; semi-major axis of 2.24 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic.[3] The body's observation arc begins at the German Heidelberg Observatory on 30 April 1913, or 25 days after its official discovery observation at Simeiz Observatory.[1]


    Naming


    This minor planet was named after Russian amateur astronomer Nikolai Sergeevich Maltsov (S. I. Malzov) who founded the discovering Simeiz Observatory, which he later donated to the Pulkovo Observatory in 1911. Malzov was a close friend of Sergey Belyavsky and of Oskar Backlund, after whom asteroid 856 Backlunda was named. After World War I, Malzov lived at Menton, on the French Riviera near Italy. The naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 75).[2]


    Physical characteristics


    In the Tholen and Bus–Binzel SMASS classification, Malzovia is a common, stony S-type asteroid.[3]


    Rotation period


    In February 2020, a rotational lightcurve of Malzovia was obtained from photometric observations by French amateur astronomer René Roy. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of (5.9274±0.0002) hours with a high brightness variation of 0.50±0.02 magnitude, indicative of its elongated shape (U=3).[10] Alternative period determinations by Julian Oey and Frederick Pilcher in May 2014 gave very similar results of (5.9275±0.0002) and (5.9279±0.0001) hours, respectively, both with an amplitude of 0.30 magnitude (U=3−/3−).[13][14][lower-alpha 1]


    Poles


    Published in 2018, thermophysical modeling of Malzovia from thermal data obtained from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) gave a sidereal period of (5.92748±0.00002 h) and two spin axes at (53.0°, 37.0°) and (242.0°, 46.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).[11] Previously, two lightcurves published in 2016, using modeled photometric data from the Lowell Photometric Database (LPD) and other sources, gave a period of (5.92749±0.00001) and 5.92748±0.00005 hours, respectively. Each modeled lightcurve also determined two poles at (53.0°, 37.0°) and (242.0°, 46.0°), as well as (55.0°, 46.0°) and (246.0°, 55.0°), respectively.[15][16]


    Diameter and albedo


    According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's WISE telescope, Malzovia measures (11.065±0.071) and (12.13±0.26 km) kilometers in diameter and its surface has a low albedo of (0.270±0.029) and (0.239±0.011), respectively.[7][8][9]

    The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 and calculates a diameter of 12.98 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.6.[12] The WISE team also published several alternative mean-diameters of (11.11±2.12 km), (11.658±2.526 km) and (11.724±0.056 km), with a corresponding albedo of (0.41±0.12), (0.351±0.144) and (0.2444±0.0464).[5][12]
