}}2146 Stentor ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|t|ɛ|n|t|ɔː|r}} {{Respell|STEN-tor}}), provisional designation {{mp|1976 UQ}}, is a Jupiter trojan from the Greek camp, approximately {{convert|51|km|mi|abbr=off|sigfig=2|sp=us}} in diameter. It was discovered on 24 October 1976, by Danish astronomer Richard Martin West at the ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile.[1] The dark Jovian asteroid has a rotation period of 16.4 hours and belongs to the 100 largest Jupiter trojans.[9] It was named after Stentor from Greek mythology, a Herald of the Greeks during the Trojan War.[1]

Orbit and classification

Stentor is a Jovian asteroid orbiting in the leading Greek camp at Jupiter's {{L4}} Lagrangian point, 60° ahead of the gas giant's orbit in a 1:1 resonance {{cross reference|(see Trojans in astronomy)}}.[5] It is a non-family asteroid in the Jovian background population.[6]

It orbits the Sun at a distance of 4.7–5.7 AU once every 11 years and 10 months (4,327 days; semi-major axis of 5.2 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 39° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at La Silla in October 1976.[1]

Physical characteristics

Stentor is an assumed C-type asteroid.[9]

Rotation period

In June 2016, a rotational lightcurve of Stentor was obtained from photometric observations by Brian Warner at the Center for Solar System Studies (CS3) in California. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of {{val|16.40|0.02}} hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.10 magnitude ({{small|U=2}}). An alternative period solution (1:1.5 alias of 24.88 was also obtained.[9][10]{{efn|name=lightcurve-plots-CS3}}

Stentor was previously observed at CS3 by Daniel Coley and Robert Stephens in February 2013, gave an alternative period solution of {{val|35.14|0.02}} hours with an amplitude of 0.09 magnitude. This approximately a 1:2 alias is now superseded by the shorter period above ({{small|U=2}}).[28]

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Stentor measures 50.76 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo 0.082,[8] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for a carbonaceous asteroid of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 58.29 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 9.9.[9]

Naming

This minor planet was named from Greek mythology after Stentor, the Greek warrior and herald with a voice as loud as fifty men together.[1] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center before November 1977 ({{small|M.P.C. 4788}}).[32]
