}}12444 Prothoon, provisional designation {{mp|1996 GE|19}}, is a large Jupiter trojan from the Trojan camp, approximately {{convert|64|km|mi|abbr=off|sigfig=2|sp=us}} in diameter. It was discovered on 15 April 1996, by Belgian astronomer Eric Elst at the La Silla Observatory in northern Chile.[1] The assumed C-type asteroid is one of the 60 largest Jupiter trojans and has a rotation period of 15.82 hours.[5] It was named after Prothoon from Greek mythology.[1]

Orbit and classification

Prothoon is a dark Jovian asteroid orbiting in the trailering Trojan camp at Jupiter's {{L5}} Lagrangian point, 60° behind on the Gas Giant's orbit in a 1:1 resonance (see Trojans in astronomy). This asteroid is not a member of any asteroid family but belongs to the Jovian background population.[7][31] It orbits the Sun at a distance of 4.9–5.6 AU once every 12.01 years (4,387 days; semi-major axis of 5.24 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.07 and an inclination of 31° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with a precovery taken at La Silla in March 1996, one month prior to its official discovery observation.[1]

Physical characteristics

Prothoon is an assumed C-type asteroid.[5]

Rotation period

In August 2011, a rotational lightcurve of Prothoon was obtained from photometric observations by Robert Stephens at the Goat Mountain Astronomical Research Station {{Obscode|G79}} in California. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 15.82 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.20 magnitude ({{small|U=3-}}).[5][14]

Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite, the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, Prothoon measures between 62.41 and 64.31 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.039 and 0.052.[10][11][12]

The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0467 and a diameter of 64.41 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 9.9.[5]

Naming

This minor planet was named from Greek mythology after the Trojan warrior Prothoon, who was killed by Teucer during the Trojan War.[1] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 6 January 2003 ({{small|M.P.C. 47300}}).[42]
