(10867) Lima is an asteroid of the central main belt that was discovered on July 14, 1996 by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809). At the same observatory there had already been several unconfirmed sightings of the asteroid: in February 1990 (1990 DJ 2 ) and on January 6, 1991 (1991 LS 6 ).
According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (10867) Lima assumed a dark surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be around trade a C asteroid .
(10867) Lima was named after Lima , the capital of Peru , on March 2, 2000 .
