Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Catania Astrophysical Observatory during 1992 and 1993 gave a light curve with a period of 8.140 ± 0.005 hours.[3] In 2004, an additional photometric study was performed at Swilken Brae Observatory in St Andrews, Fife, yielding a probable period of 8.1364 ± 0.0008 hours and a brightness variation of 0.26 ± 0.03 in magnitude.[9] A 2011 study from Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces, New Mexico gave a period of 8.1347 ± 0.0001 hours with a brightness variation of 0.17 ± 0.02 magnitude, which is consistent with prior results.[4]
On December 17, 1999, a star was occulted by Nuwa.

Nuwa minor planet designation 150 Nuwa is a large main belt asteroid with an orbital period of 5 15 years It was discovered by Canadian American astronomer James Craig Watson on October 18 1875 6 and named after Nuwa the Chinese creator goddess This object is a candidate member of the Hecuba group of asteroids that orbit near the 2 1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter 7 Based upon the spectrum it is classified as a C type asteroid 8 which indicates that it is probably composed of primitive carbonaceous chondritic material and the surface is exceedingly dark 150 Nuwa3D convex shape model of 150 NuwaDiscoveryDiscovered byJ C WatsonDiscovery date18 October 1875DesignationsMPC designation 150 NuwaPronunciation ˈ nj uː w ɑː citation needed Named afterNuwaAlternative designationsA875 UA 1908 AL 2002 JR70Minor planet categoryMain beltOrbital characteristics 1 Epoch 31 July 2016 JD 2457600 5 Uncertainty parameter 0Observation arc116 94 yr 42714 d Aphelion3 3586 AU 502 44 Gm Perihelion2 6084 AU 390 21 Gm Semi major axis2 9835 AU 446 33 Gm Eccentricity0 12573Orbital period sidereal 5 15 yr 1882 3 d Mean anomaly138 03 Mean motion0 11m 28 536s dayInclination2 1937 Longitude of ascending node206 21 Argument of perihelion151 84 Physical characteristicsDimensions151 13 4 5 km 1 146 54 9 15 km 2 Mass 1 62 0 20 1018 kg 2 Mean density0 98 0 22 g cm3 2 Synodic rotation period8 14 hours 3 8 1347 h 0 33895 d 1 4 Geometric albedo0 0395 0 002Spectral typeC 5 Absolute magnitude H 8 23Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Catania Astrophysical Observatory during 1992 and 1993 gave a light curve with a period of 8 140 0 005 hours 3 In 2004 an additional photometric study was performed at Swilken Brae Observatory in St Andrews Fife yielding a probable period of 8 1364 0 0008 hours and a brightness variation of 0 26 0 03 in magnitude 9 A 2011 study from Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces New Mexico gave a period of 8 1347 0 0001 hours with a brightness variation of 0 17 0 02 magnitude which is consistent with prior results 4 On December 17 1999 a star was occulted by Nuwa References Edit a b c Yeomans Donald K 150 Nuwa JPL Small Body Database Browser NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory retrieved 12 May 2016 a b c Carry B December 2012 Density of asteroids Planetary and Space Science 73 1 98 118 arXiv 1203 4336 Bibcode 2012P amp SS 73 98C doi 10 1016 j pss 2012 03 009 See Table 1 a b Blanco C et al February 1996 Lightcurves pole direction and shape of asteroids 121 Hermione 150 Nuwa 236 Honoria 287 Nephthys and 377 Campania Planetary and Space Science 44 2 93 106 Bibcode 1996P amp SS 44 93B doi 10 1016 0032 0633 95 00097 6 a b Pilcher Frederick July 2011 Rotation Period Determinations for 28 Bellona 81 Terpsichore 126 Velleda 150 Nuwa 161 Athor 419 Aurelia and 632 Pyrrha The Minor Planet Bulletin 38 3 156 158 Bibcode 2011MPBu 38 156P Richmond Michael Asteroid Lightcurve Data File Updated March 1 2001 retrieved 3 April 2013 Numbered Minor Planets 1 5000 Discovery Circumstances IAU Minor Planet center retrieved 7 April 2013 McDonald Sophia Levy June 1948 General perturbations and mean elements with representations of 35 minor planets of the Hecuba group Astronomical Journal 53 199 Bibcode 1948AJ 53 199M doi 10 1086 106097 DeMeo Francesca E et al July 2009 An extension of the Bus asteroid taxonomy into the near infrared PDF Icarus 202 1 160 180 Bibcode 2009Icar 202 160D doi 10 1016 j icarus 2009 02 005 archived from the original PDF on 17 March 2014 retrieved 8 April 2013 See appendix A Vincent Fiona August 2006 The lightcurve of 150 Nuwa Journal of the British Astronomical Association 116 4 200 202 Bibcode 2006JBAA 116 200V External links EditImage taken on September 25 26 27 2009 from Slooh Robotic Telescope Teide Canary Islands Title Unknown Archived from the original on 14 July 2011 Retrieved 5 October 2009 Image taken on October 3 2009 from Slooh Robotic Telescope Teide Canary Islands Title Unknown Archived from the original on 14 July 2011 Retrieved 6 November 2009 Image taken on October 23 2009 from Slooh Robotic Telescope Teide Canary Islands Title Unknown Archived from the original on 14 July 2011 Retrieved 6 November 2009 150 Nuwa at AstDyS 2 Asteroids Dynamic Site Ephemeris Observation prediction Orbital info Proper elements Observational info 150 Nuwa at the JPL Small Body Database Close approach Discovery Ephemeris Orbit diagram Orbital elements Physical parameters Retrieved from https en wikipedia org w index php title 150 Nuwa amp oldid 1126708759, wikipedia, wiki, book, books, library,
