2423 Ibarruri, provisional designation 1972 NC, is an eccentric, tumbling and rare-type asteroid, classified as slow rotator and sizable Mars-crosser from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 5 kilometers in diameter.

The asteroid was discovered by Russian–Ukrainian astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravleva at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on 14 July 1972.[4] It was named after Spanish communist Rubén Ruiz Ibárruri.[2]

Orbit and classification

[edit]

Ibarruri orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.6–2.8 AU once every 3 years and 3 months (1,183 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.28 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

Physical characteristics

[edit]

The spectral type of the asteroid is that of a rare A-type in the SMASS taxonomy, with its surface consisting of almost pure olivine, which gives the body a very reddish color. As of November 2015, only 17 minor planets of this type are known.[12]

As a spectroscopic A-type asteroid, it belongs to the larger group of bodies with a silicaceous composition. However, the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link classifies the asteroid into the carbonaceous group, despite the fact that is assumes a relatively high geometric albedo of 0.20,[3] which is rather typical for stony asteroids.

Slow rotator and tumbler

[edit]

Ibarruri has a notably slow rotation period of 140 hours,[a][7] and seems to be in a non-principal axis rotation (NPAR), colloquially called as "tumbling".[13]

Naming

[edit]

This minor planet was named after Rubén Ruiz Ibárruri (1920–1942), son of Spanish communist leader Dolores Ibárruri and a posthumous Hero of the Soviet Union. He enlisted in the Soviet army and died in the early stage of the Battle of Stalingrad in September 1942.[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 8 February 1982 (M.P.C. 6649).[14]
