caption_attribution_description: English: A three-dimensional model of 1111 Reinmuthia that was computed using light curve inversion techniques.
context_page_description: 1111 Reinmuthia is a very elongated asteroid from the background population, located in the outer region of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 11 February 1927, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg Observatory in southwest Germany. The F-type asteroid has a short rotation period of 4.02 hours and measures approximately 40 kilometers in diameter. It was later named in honor of Karl Reinmuth, the discoverer himself.
context_section_description: In the Tholen classification, Reinmuthia has an ambiguous spectral type, closest to that of a dark F-type and somewhat similar to an X-type asteroid. The spectrum had also been flagged as "unusual" and "nosy" by Tholen (FXU:).
