Dziewanna was discovered on 13 March 2010 by astronomers Andrzej Udalski, Scott Sheppard, Marcin Kubiak and Chad Trujillo at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile.[1] Based on its absolute magnitude and assumed albedo, it is estimated to have a diameter of approximately 470 kilometers.[6] It was named after Devana (Polish form: Dziewanna), a Slavic goddess of the wilderness, forests and the hunt,[1] in honor of the fact that it was discovered during the Polish OGLE project of Warsaw University, which was led by Udalski.[11]

Dziewanna orbits the Sun at a distance of 32.6 to 108.3 AU once every 591 years and 4 months (215,992 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.54 and an inclination of 29° with respect to the ecliptic.[3] It is currently 39.1 AU from the Sun and will reach perihelion in 2038.[3][10] A ten-million-year integration of the orbit shows that this object is in a 2:7 resonance with Neptune.[4]

A precovery image was taken by the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking at Palomar Observatory in 2002. This extends Dziewanna's observation arc to 8 years prior to discovery. It has since been observed 143 times over 6 oppositions and has an orbit quality of 1.[1]

Physical properties

edit

In 2010, the thermal radiation of Dziewanna was observed by the Herschel Space Telescope, which allowed astronomers to estimate its diameter at about 470 km (290 mi).[6] A stellar occultation by Dziewanna was observed on 17 May 2019, yielding a single-chord diameter of 504 km (313 mi).[7]

A rotational lightcurve was obtained from photometric observations at the discovering observatory, with the 2.5-meter Irénée du Pont Telescope, and published in May 2013. The lightcurve shows that the rotation period is 7.07±0.05 hours; the variation in brightness is of magnitude 0.12 (U=2).[9]

Observations by American astronomer Michael Brown at the Keck telescope in March 2012 failed to find a satellite. There is therefore currently no means to determine Dziewanna's mass.[6]
