}}1242 Zambesia, provisional designation {{mp|1932 HL}}, is a dark background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 48 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 28 April 1932, by South African astronomer Cyril Jackson at the Union Observatory in Johannesburg.[31] The asteroid was named for the large Zambezi basin in southern Africa.[2]

Orbit and classification

Zambesia is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population.[3] It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.2–3.3 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,655 days; semi-major axis of 2.74 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the ecliptic.

The asteroid was first observed as {{mp|A908 BF}} at Taunton Observatory ({{small|803}}) in January 1908. The body's observation arc begins at the United States Naval Observatory ({{small|786}}) in February 1908, more than 26 years prior to its official discovery observation at Johannesburg.[31]

Physical characteristics

Zambesia is an assumed C-type asteroid.[6]

Rotation period

In October 2015, a rotational lightcurve of Zambesia was obtained by a group of Spanish astronomers. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 15.72 hours with a brightness variation of 0.15 magnitude ({{small|U=2}}).{{efn|name=lcdb-Aznar-2016}} Previous photometric observations gave a divergent period of 17.305 and 24+ hours ({{small|U=1/2}}).[13]{{efn|name=lcdb-CALL-2011}}

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Zambesia measures between 42.16 and 72.818 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.0252 and 0.0708.[5][7][8][9][10][11][12]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0541 and a diameter of 47.54 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.4.[6]

Naming

This minor planet was named after the Zambezi river valley, partially part of the former British Central Africa Protectorate. The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 ({{small|H 114}}).[2] The large Zambezi basin stretches across modern Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
