113 Amalthea ({{IPAc-en|æ|m|əl|'|θ|iː|ə}}) is a stony Florian asteroid and binary system from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately {{convert|50|km|mi|abbr=off|sp=us}} in diameter. It was discovered on 12 March 1871, by German astronomer Robert Luther at the Bilk Observatory in Düsseldorf, Germany. The elongated S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 9.95 hours. It was named after Amalthea from Greek mythology. The discovery of its 5-kilometer satellite was announced in July 2017.

Description

Amalthea is thought to be a fragment from the mantle of a Vesta-sized, 300–600 km diameter parent body that broke up around one billion years ago, with the other major remnant being 9 Metis.[3] The spectrum of Amalthea reveals the presence of the mineral olivine, a relative rarity in the asteroid belt.[4][5]

Based on observations made during a stellar occultation by Amalthea of a 10th-magnitude star on 14 March 2017, it was announced in July 2017 that the asteroid has a small, 5-kilometer-sized satellite, provisionally designated S/2017 (113) 1. The observations also indicated that Amalthea has a distinctly elongated shape.[1]

One of Jupiter's inner small satellites, unrelated to 113 Amalthea, is also called Amalthea, as is an (apparently fictional) small Arjuna asteroid in Neal Stephenson's 2015 novel Seveneves.
