(10780) Apollinaire is an asteroid of the central main belt , which was discovered on August 2, 1991 by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809).
According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (10780) Apollinaire assumed a bright surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be around trade an S asteroid .
