(3698) Manning is an asteroid located in the main inner belt . The asteroid was discovered on October 29, 1984 by the American astronomer Edward LG Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station ( IAU code 688) of the Lowell Observatory in Coconino County , Arizona . There had already been sightings of the asteroid: on October 20, 1957 under the provisional designation 1957 UV at the Goethe Link Observatory in Indiana , on September 12, 1977 (1977 RL 3 ) at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj and on September 16 , 1977 . March 1983 (1983 FH) at Anderson Mesa Station.

A mean diameter of 6.034 (± 0.032) km and an albedo of 0.217 (± 0.026) were calculated for the asteroid .

The Italian astronomer Vincenzo Zappalà defined in a publication from 1995 (et al.) That (3698) Manning belonged to the Flora family, a large group of asteroids named after (8) Flora . Asteroids of this family move in a 4: 9 orbital resonance with the planet Mars around the sun . The group is also called the Ariadne family, after the asteroid (43) Ariadne .

The period of rotation of the asteroid was examined several times by Brian D. Warner , but the light curves were not sufficient for a determination. In a spectroscopic study of the asteroids of the inner main belt published in 2006 by Alvaro Alvarez-Candal, René Duffard, Daniela Lazarro and Tatiana Michtchenko, Manning was classified as an S asteroid (3698) .

(3698) Manning was named on February 2, 1988 after the British amateur astronomer Brian GW Manning (1926-2011). It was named at the suggestion of Don Yeomans and Brian Marsden , who also wrote the dedication.
