(16445) Klimt is an asteroid of the main outer belt , which was discovered on April 3, 1989 by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809).
The mean distance from the Sun ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid are similar to the orbital data of members of the Theobalda family, a large group of asteroids named after (778) Theobalda and less than ten million years old. According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel in (16445) Klimt assumed a dark surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be around trade a C asteroid .
(16445) Klimt was named on January 6, 2007 after the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt , who was one of the most famous exponents of Viennese Art Nouveau .
