(10856) Bechstein is an asteroid of the outer main belt , which was discovered by the German astronomer Freimut Börngen on March 5, 1995 at the Tautenburg Observatory ( IAU code 033) in the Thuringian Tautenburg Forest . The asteroid had previously been sighted under the provisional name 1991 SJ 4 at the Palomar Observatory in California .
The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 17.313 (± 0.292) km . With an albedo of 0.049 (± 0.006), (10856) Bechstein has a dark surface.
The asteroid is in a (5, -2, -2) orbital resonance with the planet Jupiter . The solar orbit of (10856) Bechstein is strongly elliptical with an eccentricity of 0.2399 and strongly inclined with more than 25 ° in relation to the ecliptic of the solar system .
The track from (10856) Bechstein was secured in 1999 so that numbering could be assigned. On January 24, 2000, the asteroid was named after the German piano maker Carl Bechstein (1826–1900) at the suggestion of Freimut Börngen .
