It was discovered by South African astronomer Cyril Jackson at Johannesburg Observatory on 24 April 1931.[10] The asteroid was named for the African continent.[2] Orbit and classificationAfrica is a member of the Eunomia family ({{small|502}}), a large group of typically S-type asteroids and the most prominent family in the intermediate main-belt.[4][5] It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.3–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 4 months (1,572 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 14° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Johannesburg.[10]Physical characteristicsDiameter and albedoAccording to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Africa measures 12.22 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.247.[7] Based on a generic magnitude-to-diameter conversion, Africa measures 13 kilometers in diameter, using an absolute magnitude of 11.8 and a standard albedo for Eunomian asteroids of 0.21, derived from 15 Eunomia, the family's largest member and namesake.[17] PhotometryAs of 2017, no rotational lightcurve of Africa has been obtained from photometric observations. The body's rotation period, poles and shape still remain unknown.[19] NamingThis minor planet was named for Africa, the large continent on which Johannesburg is located.[2] The official naming citation was also mentioned in Paul Herget's The Names of the Minor Planets in 1955 ({{small|H 111}}).[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book |title = Dictionary of Minor Planet Names – (1193) Africa |last = Schmadel | first = Lutz D. |publisher = Springer Berlin Heidelberg |page = 100 |date = 2007 |isbn = 978-3-540-00238-3 |doi = 10.1007/978-3-540-29925-7_1194 |chapter = (1193) Africa }} [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]2. ^1 2 {{cite web |title = 1193 Africa (1931 HB) |work = Minor Planet Center |url = http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/db_search/show_object?object_id=1193 |accessdate = 15 August 2017}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal |display-authors = 6 |first1 = Joseph R. |last1 = Masiero |first2 = A.
