(105) Artemis is a large asteroid from the main asteroid belt, discovered on September 16, 1868 by astronomer James Craig Watson. The asteroid was named after Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the Moon in Greek mythology.
Main characteristics
- Diameter: about 150 km.
- Orbit:
- Average distance from the Sun - 2.37 astronomical units (AU).
- Orbital period around the Sun - about 4.2 years.
- Type: belongs to the C-type asteroids, characterized by a carbon-rich composition and low albedo (approximately 0.04).
Surface and composition
Artemis has a low reflectivity, indicating a dark and carbon-rich surface. Such objects are of interest for research, as they may contain substances left over from the formation of the Solar System.
Satellites
There is no information about the presence of satellites around (105) Artemis. In the proposed version, the mentioned satellites "Silena" and "Hypatia" do not have a confirmed scientific basis. If you mean another object, please clarify the data.
Astronomical significance
Asteroid (105) Artemis is an important object for studying the processes of evolution and composition of bodies in the main belt. Analysis of its spectral characteristics helps scientists better understand the distribution of carbonaceous asteroids in the Solar System.
Interesting fact
Although Artemis is not the largest object in the main belt, its orbital parameters and composition make it an important object for studying the chemical diversity and formation history of small bodies.
