(6102) Visby is an asteroid located in the main central belt . It was discovered on March 21, 1993 as part of the Uppsala-ESO Surveys of Asteroids and Comets at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809). There had been several sightings of the asteroid before, for example from October 10th to 14th, 1990 under the provisional designation 1990 TV 11 at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in Tautenburg and on December 31, 1991 (1991 YQ 2 ) at the Steward Observatory's outstation at Kitt Peak .
The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 4.473 (± 0.168) km , the albedo as 0.292 (± 0.077).
(6102) Visby was named after the Swedish city of Visby on September 28, 1999 .
