(158) Koronis is an asteroid of the main belt , on 4 January 1876 by the Russian astronomer Viktor Knorre was discovered.
The origin of the name is unclear, the asteroid could be named after Koronis , a heroin from Greek mythology and mother of Asclepius (Aesculapia), or after Koronis , a nymph of the Hyades .
The coronis asteroid family is named after him.
According to its spectrum, it is classified as an S-asteroid . Photometric observations show a synodic rotation period of 14.206 ± 0.002 hours with a brightness fluctuation of 0.28-0.43. A subsequent study at the Altimira Observatory in 2010 agreed with this estimate and found a rotation period of 14.208 ± 0.040 hours. Based on a model constructed from the light curve, the shape of Koronis is similar to that of (243) Ida , an asteroid from the same family, although it is slightly larger.
A collision with (158) Koronis 15 million years ago created a group of 246 objects. (158) Koronis itself retained 98.7% of its total mass. The Koronis family (2) formed the new properties. Koronis (2) is a subfamily of the much larger Koronis family.
