(10552) Stockholm is an asteroid in the main outer belt . The asteroid was discovered on January 22, 1993 by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809).
A mean diameter of 9.605 (± 0.125) km was calculated for the asteroid . The period of rotation of the asteroid was examined several times, but the light curves were not sufficient for a determination.
According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel near (10552) Stockholm assumed a dark surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be around trade an S asteroid . The albedo of 0.070 (± 0.009) also indicates a dark surface.
Mean distance from the Sun ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid roughly correspond to the Themis family, a group of asteroids named after (24) Themis .
(10552) Stockholm was named on March 20, 2000 after the Swedish capital Stockholm .
