2384 Schulhof
2384 Schulhof ("prov. designation": "") is a mid-sized asteroid and the namesake of the Schulhof family, located in the Eunomian region of the intermediate asteroid belt. It was discovered on 2 March 1943, by French astronomer Marguerite Laugier at Nice Observatory in southeastern France. The asteroid was later named after Hungarian astronomer Lipót Schulhof. The presumed S-type asteroid has a short rotation period of 3.3 hours and measures approximately in diameter. Orbit and classification. "Schulhof" is the principal body and namesake of the Schulhof family, a small asteroid family within the region of the Eunomia family of  the main-belt. It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.3–2.9 AU once every 4 years and 3 months (1,541 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 14° with respect to the ecliptic. It was first observed as "" at Heidelberg Observatory in 1909. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Nice in 1943. Naming. This minor planet was named in memory of Austrian–Hungarian astronomer Lipót Schulhof (1847–1921), observer of asteroids and comets, discoverer of the main-belt asteroid 147 Protogeneia, and awardee  of the Lalande Prize. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 17 February 1984, based on a suggestion by Brian G. Marsden (). Physical characteristics. "Schulhof" is an assumed S-type asteroid. Rotation period. In April 2002, a rotational lightcurve of "Schulhof" was obtained from photometric observations at the U.S. Oakley Observatory. It gave a well-defined rotation period of hours with a brightness variation of 0.43 magnitude (). Diameter and albedo. According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, "Schulhof" measures 11.5 and 11.7 kilometers in  diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.27 and 0.28, respectively. The "Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link" assumes an albedo of 0.21 – derived form 15 Eunomia, the family's largest member and namesake – and calculates a diameter of 12.7 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 11.8.
