OVERVIEW

] ASTEROID

3925 Tret'yakov is a main-belt asteroid. Its absolute magnitude () is 11.02. It orbits the Sun at a mean distance of 3.157 . Its effective radius is 25.64 . It is catalogued as 3925 Tret'yakov (1977 SS2). It was discovered in 1977.

WHAT IT IS
Main-belt asteroid
HOW FAR
3.157

Its average distance from the Sun, not from Earth.

HOW BIG
25.64

The radius of a ball that would look the same size — the body itself is not round.

HOW BRIGHT IN ITSELF (H)

How bright it would look from a fixed, standard distance — a measure of the object rather than of the view from here.

ONE ORBIT TAKES
5.61

One trip round the Sun.

CATALOG DATA

] 16 FIELDS

The raw catalogue values, as the source published them, with the error bars where one was published — sorted by what each set of figures is about rather than by the order they happened to be stored in.

WHAT IT IS MADE OF

What the object is in itself, rather than how it happens to look from here.

Rotation period
30.962

HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

THE ORBIT

The shape of the path, where the object sits on it, and the instant those figures were true of. An orbit is a fit to observations and drifts away from the real one either side of its epoch.

Each link carries the identifier printed beside it. Nothing on this page is a measurement of our own, so a number that disagrees with one of these is worth reporting — and a service that has never catalogued this object under this name will say so plainly.

    The orbit these elements were taken from, with its uncertainty, its close approaches and every observation behind the fit.
