It was discovered on 3 August 1991, by Belgian astronomer Eric Elst at ESO's La Silla Observatory site in Chile.[8] The asteroid was named after the Euphrates River in the Middle East.[2] Orbit and classificationEuphrates is one of very few bodies located in the 2:1 mean motion resonance with the gas giant Jupiter and belongs to the "marginally unstable" Griqua group.[4]It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.5–4.2 AU once every 6 years and 1 month (2,220 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 1° with respect to the ecliptic. A first precovery was taken at Palomar Observatory in 1971, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 20 years prior to its official discovery observation.[8] Physical characteristicsBased on an absolute magnitude of 13.9, it measures between 4 and 10 kilometers in diameter, assuming an albedo in the range of 0.05 to 0.25. Since asteroids in the outer main-belt are mostly of a carbonaceous rather than of a silicaceous composition, with low albedos, typically around 0.06, its diameter is likely to be between 8 and 10 kilometers.[6] As of 2017, Euphrates{{'}} effective size, its composition and albedo, as well as its rotation period and shape remain unknown.[15] NamingThis minor planet was named after the Euphrates river, that flows through northern Syria and Iraq.[2] It is one of the most historically important rivers of Western Asia. The Tigris–Euphrates river system, a major river system, is formed when the two rivers combine at Al Qurnah. The minor planet 13096 Tigris is named after the other river of this system.[2] The approved naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 6 August 2003 ({{small|M.P.C. 49280}}).[18] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book |title = Dictionary of Minor Planet Names – (13963) Euphrates, Addendum to Fifth Edition: 2003–2005 |last = Schmadel | first = Lutz D. |publisher = Springer Berlin Heidelberg |page = 82 |date = 2006 |isbn = 978-3-540-34360-8 |doi = 10.1007/978-3-540-34361-5_818 |chapter = (13963) Euphrates [3.32, 0.26, 0.9] }} [1][2][3][4][5][6]2. ^1 2 {{cite web |title = 13963 Euphrates (1991 PT4) |work = Minor Planet Center |url = http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/db_search/show_object?object_id=13963 |accessdate = 7 April 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |title = MPC/MPO/MPS Archive |work = Minor Planet Center |url = http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/ECS/MPCArchive/MPCArchive_TBL.html |accessdate = 19 May 2016}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite journal |first1 = F. |last1 = Roig |first2 = D. |last2 = Nesvorný |first3 = S. |last3 = Ferraz-Mello |date = September 2002 |title = Asteroids in the 2 : 1 resonance with Jupiter: dynamics and size distribution |url = http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/bib_query?bibcode=2002MNRAS.335..417R |journal = Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society |volume = 335 |issue = 2 |pages = 417–431 |bibcode = 2002MNRAS.335..417R |doi = 10.1046/j.1365-8711.2002.05635.x |access-date= 7 April 2016}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web |title = Absolute Magnitude (H) |publisher = NASA/JPL |url = http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/glossary/h.html |access-date= 7 April 2016}} 6. ^1 {{cite web |title = LCDB Data for (13963) Euphrates |publisher = Asteroid Lightcurve Database (LCDB) |url = http://www.minorplanet.info/PHP/GenerateALCDEFPage_Local.php?AstInfo=13963%7CEuphrates |accessdate = 5 July 2017}} }} External links
