1034 Mozartia, provisional designation {{mp|1924 SS}}, is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 7 September 1924, by Soviet Vladimir Albitsky at Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula, and named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Orbit and classification

Mozartia orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.7–2.9 AU once every 3 years and 6 months (1,268 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation in 1924.

Physical characteristics

In the SMASS classification, Mozartia is a common S-type asteroid.

= Diameter and albedo =

According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Mozartia measures 7.919 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.250.

= Lightcurves =

As of 2017, no rotational lightcurve of Mozartia has been obtained. The body's rotation period and shape remain unknown.

Naming

This minor planet was named after the influential Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791). The official {{MoMP|1034|naming citation}} was published by the Minor Planet Center in November 1952 ({{small|M.P.C. 837}}).
