(3318) Blixen is an asteroid of the main belt , which on 23 April 1985 by the Danish astronomer Poul Jensen and Karl Augustesen on Brorfelde Observatory ( IAU code near 054) Holbæk was discovered.
The asteroid belongs to the Eos family, a group of asteroids, which typically have large semiaxes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.
(3318) Blixen was named after the Danish writer Karen Blixen (1885–1962) in 1985 on the occasion of her 100th birthday .
