10010 Rudruna (1978 PW3) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on August 9, 1978 by husband and wife team Nikolai and Lyudmila Chernykh at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. It is named after the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (Russian: Российский университет дружбы народов, Rossijskij universitet druzhby narodov).[1]
Physical characteristics
The asteroid belongs to the V-type taxonomic class.
Based on observations from the Pan-STARRS (Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System) telescope network and observations from the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), the asteroid's absolute magnitude was initially estimated to be 14.39 ± 0.20m (Vereš, P., et al. 2015),[2] and later, 14,40 ± 0,137m (Mahlke, M., et al. 2021).[3]
