(2347) Vinata is an asteroid of the outer main belt , which the US American astronomer Henry Lee Giclas on October 7, 1936 at the Lowell Observatory ( IAU code 690) in Flagstaff , Arizona was discovered.
The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be around 25 kilometers.
The asteroid's period of rotation was observed on December 13-16, 2007 by Brian D. Warner at the Palmer Divide Observatory in Colorado . The light curve gave a rotation period of 4.4835 h (± 0.0005).
(2347) Vinata was named after Vinata on February 6, 1993 at the suggestion of the American astronomer Frederick Pilcher , the mother of Aruna and Garuda in Indian mythology . The asteroids (2313) Aruna and (2307) Garuda were named after Aruna and Garuda on the same day .
