(13149) Heisenberg is an asteroid of the outer main belt , which was discovered by the German astronomer Freimut Börngen on March 4, 1995 at the Tautenburg Observatory ( IAU code 033) in the Thuringian Tautenburg Forest . The asteroid had already been sighted on November 12, 1982 under the provisional designation 1982 VU 10 at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj .
The asteroid belongs to the Themis family, a group of asteroids named after (24) Themis . According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (13149) Heisenberg assumed a dark surface, so roughly speaking it could be trade a C asteroid .
On February 28, 2007, the Japanese Akari satellite took a slow-scan infrared image of the asteroid. Based on the recording, it was assumed that the albedo of the asteroid was higher than 0.1. Since it was assumed in a publication from 2012 that it was a C-asteroid, (13149) Heisenberg was referred to as a non-typical C-asteroid ( rare C-type asteroid distinguished by high albedo ).
designation
The track from (13149) Heisenberg was secured in 2000 so that numbering could be assigned. In the same year, on May 23, 2000, at the suggestion of Freimut Börngen, the asteroid was named after the German physicist Werner Heisenberg , who had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1933 “for the foundation of quantum mechanics , its application, among other things, to the discovery of allotropic forms of hydrogen ”.
