(10634) Pepibican is an asteroid of the inner main belt that was discovered on April 8, 1998 by the Czech astronomer Lenka Kotková (at that time still under her birth name Lenka Šarounová ) at the Ondřejov observatory ( IAU code 557) in Ondřejov u Prahy . The asteroid had previously been sighted under the provisional name 1995 KX 2 on May 22, 1995 at the French Observatoire de Calern .
Its eccentricity is small at 0.0166, so that its orbit around the sun comes very close to an ideal circular orbit, comparable to the circular orbit of the earth , which has a value of 0.0167. The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 4.619 (± 0.149) kilometers and the albedo to be 0.396 (± 0.065).
(10634) Pepibican was named on September 28, 1999 after the Austrian - Czechoslovak soccer player Josef Bican (1913-2001), who is considered the best striker of his time (1927-1956) and whose nickname was "Pepi".
