    It was discovered on 18 January 1975, by Russian astronomer Lyudmila Chernykh at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory on the Crimean peninsula in Nauchnyj, and named after Soviet poet David Nikitich Kugultinov.[2][12]

    Classification and orbit

    Kugultinov is a carbonaceous C-type asteroid and member of the Themis family, a dynamical family of outer-belt asteroids with nearly coplanar ecliptical orbits. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.7–3.7 AU once every 5 years and 8 months (2,073 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination of 1° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

    Physical characteristics

    Diameter and albedo

    According to the surveys carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and the Japanese Akari satellite, Kugultinov measures between 15.10 and 21.566 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.083 and 0.12.[4][5][6][7] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL) assumes an albedo of 0.08 and calculates a diameter of 20.51 kilometers based an absolute magnitude of 11.8.[3]

    Lightcurves

    Three different rotational lightcurves of Kugultinov were obtain from photometric observations. The first, fragmentary lightcurve by Roberto Crippa and Federico Manzini in December 2013, gave a rotation period of 10 hours with a brightness variation of 0.03 magnitude (U=1).[9] In April 2015, the result was superseded by observations made by Kim Lang at the Klokkerholm Observatory in Denmark,[lower-alpha 1] and by a team at the U.S. University of Maryland using the iTelescope network,[lower-alpha 2] obtaining a period of 16.850 (U=2) and 8.4332±0.0224 hours (U=2+) with an amplitude of 0.23 and 0.19, respectively.[8][10] CALL considers the shorter period solution the better result.[3]

    Naming

    This minor planet was named after David Nikitich Kugultinov (1922–2006), prominent Soviet poet and national poet of the Republic of Kalmykia (also see 2287 Kalmykia).[2] The approved naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 2 December 1990 (M.P.C. 17465).[13]

    Notes
    1. The minor planet 2296 Kugultinov was observed on 13 nights between 2015 March 13 and April 21. The analysis yielded a synodic period of rotation of P = 16.850 ± 0.004 h and amplitude of A = 0.23 mag. This result is in disagreement with a previously reported period of P = 10.41 h.
    2. Photometric observations of main-belt asteroid 2296 Kugultinov were made over a period of five nights spanning 2015 March 27 to April 20. The measured rotation period is 8.4332 ± 0.0224 h.
    gollark: How do you implement it anyway? Forcing events toward noncontradicting outcomes? What if there aren't any?
    gollark: But won't stuff just naturally get worn down and, you know, not be the same atoms?
    gollark: They don't actually know if the whole universe will break if they do stuff wrong.
    gollark: Is it?
    gollark: Ah. How does that work in practice though?
