    1692 Subbotina, provisional designation 1936 QD, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, approximately 37 kilometers in diameter. Discovered by Grigory Neujmin at the Crimean Simeiz Observatory in 1936, it was later named after Soviet scientist Mikhail F. Subbotin.

    Discovery

    Subbotina was discovered by Russian astronomer Grigory Neujmin at the Crimean Simeiz Observatory on 16 August 1936.[13] On the following night, astronomer Karl Reinmuth independently discovered the body at Heidelberg Observatory, Germany.[2]

    The asteroid was identified as 1927 SL at the discovering observatory in 1927. Its first used observation was made at Heidelberg in 1931, extending the body's observation arc by 5 years prior to its official discovery observation.[13]

    Orbit and classification

    This asteroid orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.4–3.2 AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,698 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.14 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

    Physical characteristics

    In the SMASS taxonomic scheme, Subbotina is characterized as a dark Cg-type, a subtype of the wider group of carbonaceous C-type asteroids.[1]

    Diameter and albedo

    According to the space-based surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Subbotina measures between 35.17 and 43.01 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a notably low albedo in the range of 0.02 to 0.049.[4][5][8][9][10][11] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.04 and a diameter of 36.5 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 11.3.[7]

    Rotation period

    A rotational lightcurve of Subbotina was obtained from photometric observations made by Italian astronomer Silvano Casulli and French astronomer Laurent Bernasconi in October 2006. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 9.2457±0.0005 hours with a brightness variation of 0.3 in magnitude (U=3).[12] Somewhat higher amplitudes of 0.42 and 0.62 magnitude were found by the NEOWISE mission.[4][11]

    Naming

    This minor planet was named in memory of eminent Soviet scientist, Mikhail Subbotin (1893–1966), long-time director of the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy (ITA) in former Leningrad. The lunar crater Subbotin was also named in his honour.[2][3] The official naming citation was published before November 1977 (M.P.C. 2740).[14]
