설명

Type: Asteroid

Distance: 2.682 AU

Orbital Period: 1604.6 days

Diameter: 230 km

Named for the Bavarian city of Bamberg; CP-type, slow rotator (29 h). Highly eccentric orbit (e=0.34) brings it to mag 8.0 at perihelic oppositions — among the brightest non-top-10 asteroids when favourably placed.

Brightness Forecast (next 12 months)

Apparent magnitude as Earth–asteroid distance changes through the year. The peak marks the brightest moment in the window — usually around opposition, when the asteroid is closest and fully illuminated.

Computed from JPL orbital elements via m = H + 5·log₁₀(r·Δ). Phase-function correction is omitted, so curves trace distance variation only — accurate within a few tenths for main-belt asteroids; coarse for fast-moving NEOs near Earth.
