(19367) Pink Floyd is an asteroid of the main inner belt . He was surveyed on December 3, 1997 as part of the OCA-DLR Asteroid Survey (ODAS), a project of the OCA (Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur) and the DLR ( German Aerospace Center ), at the 90 cm Schmidt telescope discovered by the French Observatoire de Calern ( IAU code 910). The asteroid had already been sighted under the provisional name 1985 UZ 2 on October 17 and 18, 1985 at the same observatory, but not within the scope of the survey that took place from 1996 to 1999.
The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 6.652 (± 0.172) kilometers and the albedo to be 0.048 (± 0.013). The albedo indicates a dark surface.
Mean distance from the sun ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of (19367) Pink Floyd lie within the respective limit values that are defined for the Nysa group, a group of asteroids named after (44) Nysa (also known as the Hertha family, according to (135) Hertha ), but the albedo of (19367) Pink Floyd is significantly darker than that of typical asteroids of this family.
(19367) Pink Floyd was named on August 6, 2003 after the British rock band Pink Floyd . In the dedication special attention is drawn to the astronomical subjects of Pink Floyd's publications. Examples are the pieces Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine as well as the album The Dark Side of the Moon . After bassist of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters , an asteroid was named 2017 also: (495181) Roger Waters .
