2697 Albina

[9] Albina orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 3.3–3.8 AU once every 6 years and 9 months (2,455 days).

[3] A rotational lightcurve of Albina was obtained from photometric observations made at the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory in October 2010.

The lightcurve gave a rotation period of 16.5871±0.0165 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.16 in magnitude (U=2),[7] and supersedes a previous period of 9.6 hours from a fragmentary lightcurve, obtained by French astronomer Laurent Bernasconi in March 2006 (U=1).

[4][5] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives a lower albedo of 0.039 and a diameter of 51.4 kilometers.

[3] This minor planet was named after Russian astronomer from Moscow, Albina Serova, who is a friend of the discoverer.
