# 1007 Pawlowia

Pawlowia (minor planet designation: 1007 Pawlowia), provisional designation 1923 OX, is a background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 20 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 5 October 1923, by Soviet astronomer Vladimir Albitsky at the Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula. The asteroid was named after Russian physiologist and Nobelist Ivan Pavlov.

## Orbit and classification

Pawlowia is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population. It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.4–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 5 months (1,627 days; semi-major axis of 2.71 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.11 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic.
The asteroid was first imaged on a precovery taken at Lowell Observatory in December 1906. The body's observation arc begins at Simeiz on 30 October 1925, or 25 days after its official discovery observation (discovery record not listed).

## Physical characteristics

In the SMASS classification, Pawlowia is a K-type asteroid, which are common among members of the Eos family and known for their intermediate albedo.

### Rotation period

In September 2003, a tentative rotational lightcurve of Pawlowia was obtained from photometric observations by American Maurice Clark at the Bucknell and Rosemary Hill Observatory in Pennsylvania and Florida, respectively. Analysis of the essentially flat lightcurve gave a poorly rated rotation period of 8.23 hours with a brightness amplitude of at least 0.02 magnitude (U=1). As of 2018, no secure period has been obtained.

### Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Pawlowia measures between 18.264 and 24.13 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.080 and 0.145.
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and consequently calculates a much larger diameter of 32.03 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.2.

## Naming

This minor planet was named after Russian biologist Ivan Pavlov (1849–1936), who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904 (see list of laureates). Pavlov is best known for his research on classical conditioning (Pavlov's dog).
The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 96). The lunar crater Pavlov was also named in his honor.
# Grifo di Tancredi

Grifo di Tancredi (active 1271 - 1312) was an Italian painter who was likely born in Florence. Little biographical history is known for this painter, and one existing work, a triptych at the National Gallery of Scotland, has been attributed to him on the basis of inscriptions. He was active in Volterra by 1271, and later moved to Florence. He was previously cited as the Master of San Gaggio.
In 1271, Grifo rented a workshop in Volterra together with Filippo di Jacopo. He appears to have worked on painting the Fontana Maggiore in Perugia in 1281. By 1295, he had moved to Florence, and enrolled in the painters’ guild sometime between 1297 and 1312. In 1303 he executed a now lost painting in the Palazzo Vecchio, commemorating a political event of the day. Grifo is considered a follower of Giotto.

# 1008 La Paz

La Paz (minor planet designation: 1008 La Paz), provisional designation 1923 PD, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 40 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 31 October 1923, by German astronomer Max Wolf at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory and named after the city La Paz in Bolivia.

## Orbit and classification

La Paz is a background asteroid as it does not belong to any known asteroid family. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.8–3.3 AU once every 5 years and 5 months (1,985 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 9° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins at Heidelberg, 10 days after its official discovery observation.

## Physical characteristics

La Paz is an assumed carbonaceous C-type asteroid.

### Lightcurves

In November 2005, a rotational lightcurve of La Paz was obtained from photometric observations by French amateur astronomer René Roy. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 8.998 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.14 magnitude (U=3). In March 2007, a concurring period of 9.002 hours and an amplitude of 0.14 magnitude (U=3-) was obtained by astronomers Roberto Crippa and Federico Manzini at the Sozzago Astronomical Station in Italy (A12).

### Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, La Paz measures between 38.64 and 50.50 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.04 and 0.099.
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0684 and a diameter of 38.54 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.6.

## Naming

This minor planet was named after La Paz, the capital city of Bolivia in South America. The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 (H 96).

# Leichhardt River

The Leichhardt River is a river in north-west Queensland, Australia.

## Course

The source of the river is in the Selwyn Range under Rifle Creek Hill and fed by Rifle Creek approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of the mining town Mount Isa. It runs in a generally northerly direction almost parallel with the Diamantina Developmental Road until it reaches Mount Isa and crosses the Barkly Highway. It continues in a north easterly direction across the Gulf Country passing through Lake Moondarra past Glenroy Station then through Lake Julius. It then bears east then north again almost parallel with the Burke Developmental Road until crossing it near Nardoo. Continuing north past Augustus Downs Station to its mouth at the Gulf of Carpentaria.
The river was named by explorer and surveyor Augustus Charles Gregory after the early explorer of Australia, Ludwig Leichhardt. Gregory chose the name because:
   "Two days' journey S.E. brought us to a river 100 yards wide, in detached pools. (Latitude 18 degrees 12 minutes, longitude 189 degrees 65 minutes.) This river was mistaken for the Albert by Dr. Leichhardt, and I therefore named it after that enterprising explorer."

## Catchment

Leichhardt River has a catchment area of 32,878 square kilometres (12,694 sq mi). Primary activities undertaken in the watershed include mining and grazing.
The river is ephemeral and in the dry season the upstream reaches retract to a series of waterholes. The drainage basin and river estuary are in a near pristine condition.
The river is dammed near Mount Isa to form Lake Moondarra. Other storage facilities in the catchment include Julius Dam, East Leichhardt Dam and Rifle Creek Dam. Around 50 kilometres (31 mi) upstream from its mouth are the Leichhardt Falls. As well as Mount Isa, the small community of Kajabbi is located on the river.
The river has a mean annual discharge of 2,179 gigalitres (2.85×10$^9$ cu yd).

## History

In 2009 Xstrata spent $3 million for remediation work involving the removal of 40,000 tonnes of material from the riverbed.
Fossil remains have been found along the river's course. In 2011 an unidentified ancient marsupial was discovered by paleontologists.
