(6480) Scarlatti is an asteroid of the main inner belt , which was discovered by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst on August 12, 1988 at the French Observatoire de Haute-Provence in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department ( IAU code 511).
The asteroid belongs to the Nysa group, a group of asteroids named after (44) Nysa (also called the Hertha family, after (135) Hertha ). The timeless (non- osculating ) orbital elements of (6480) Scarlatti are almost identical to those of the smaller, if one assumes the absolute brightness of 15.1 compared to 14.2, asteroids (10437) van der Kruit .
(6480) Scarlatti was named on March 5, 1996 after the Italian composer and harpsichordist Domenico Scarlatti , whose main meaning lies in his sonatas for harpsichord , which are among the most original of their genre in the 18th century. As early as 1979, an impact crater on the northern hemisphere of the planet Mercury was named after Domenico Scarlatti and his father Alessandro : Mercury crater Scarlatti .
