(40441) Jungmann is an asteroid of the main middle belt discovered on September 11, 1999 by the Czech astronomer Petr Pravec and the Slovak astronomer Peter Kušnirák at the Ondřejov observatory ( IAU code 557) in Ondřejov u Prahy . Unconfirmed sightings of the asteroid had already taken place on April 21 and 22, 1998 under the provisional designation 1998 HM 66 at the Lincoln Laboratory Experimental Test System in Socorro , New Mexico as part of the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project.
The solar orbit of the asteroid is strongly elliptical with an eccentricity of 0.2577 .
According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (40441) Jungmann assumed a bright surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be around trade an S asteroid .
(40441) Jungmann was named on August 6, 2003 after the Bohemian linguist Josef Jungmann . Jungmann was a leading figure in the Czech National Revival during the 19th century. He wrote a five-volume Czech-German dictionary in which he laid the basis for modern Czech vocabulary.
