}}79912 Terrell, provisional designation {{mp|1999 CC|3}}, is a dark Adeonian asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 6 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 10 February 1999, by astronomers Walter Cooney and Ethan Kandler at the Highland Road Park Observatory, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States.[8] The asteroid was named after American astrophysicist Dirk Terrell.[2]

Orbit and classification

Terrell is a member of the Adeona family ({{small|505}}),[3] a large family of carbonaceous asteroids in the central main belt, named after 145 Adeona.[11]{{rp|23}}

It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.2–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 5 months (1,599 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 11° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its identification as {{mp|1996 PP|1}} by AMOS at Haleakala Observatory in August 1996, more than two years prior to its official discovery observation at Baton Rouge.[8]

Physical characteristics

The asteroid's spectral type is unknown. Members of the Adeona family are typically carbonaceous C-type asteroids,[11]{{rp|23}} which Terrell{{'}}s albedo (see below) agrees with.

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Terrell measures 6.340 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a low albedo of 0.053.[5]

Rotation period

As of 2017, no rotational lightcurve of Terrell has been obtained from photometric observations. The asteroid's rotation period, poles and shape remain unknown.[16]

Naming

This minor planet was named after American Dirk Terrell (born 1965), an astrophysicist, writer, space artist, and mentor of amateur astronomers.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 18 September 2005 ({{small|M.P.C. 54829}}).[18]
