(9453) Mallorca is an asteroid of the main belt that was discovered on March 19, 1998 by the Spanish astronomers Rafael Pacheco and Ángel López Jiménez at the Consell Observatory (Observatori Astronomic de Consell) in Consell ( IAU code 176).
The asteroid belongs to the Eos family, a group of asteroids, which typically have large semiaxes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.
(9453) Mallorca was named on February 2, 1999 after the largest Balearic island Mallorca , where it was discovered.
