(72827) Maxaub is an asteroid of the main middle belt discovered on April 23, 2001 by the Spanish astronomer Rafael Ferrando at the Observatorio Pla D'Arguines ( IAU code 941) in Segorbe , Valencia province .
The asteroid belongs to the Eunomia family, a group named after (15) Eunomia , to which probably five percent of the asteroids in the main belt belong. According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (72827) Maxaub assumed a bright surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be around trade an S asteroid .
The timeless (non- osculating ) orbital elements of (72827) Maxaub are almost identical to those of two smaller ones, assuming the absolute magnitude of 15.4 and 16.1 compared to 14.6, asteroids: (93200) 2000 SS 115 and (282383) 2003 RU 25 .
(72827) Maxaub is named after the Spanish writer Max Aub (1903–1972). It was named on March 6, 2004.
