1119 Euboea ({{IPAc-en|j|uː|ˈ|b|iː|ə}}; prov. designation: {{mp|1927 UB}}) is a background asteroid from the central region of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 27 October 1927, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory in southwest Germany. The asteroid has a rotation period of 11.4 hours and measures approximately {{convert|30|km|mi|abbr=off|sp=us}} in diameter. It was named for the Greek island of Euboea.

Orbit and classification

Euboea is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements. It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.2–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 3 months (1,540 days; semi-major axis of 2.61 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 8° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with a recovered observation from the Lowell Observatory in April 1930, more than 2 years after to its official discovery observation.

Naming

This minor planet was named after Euboea, also known as "Negropont", the largest island of Greece in the Aegean Sea. The {{MoMP|1119|naming}} was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 ({{small|H 105}}).

Physical characteristics

Euboea is an assumed stony S-type asteroid.

= Rotation period and poles =

In October 2007, a first rotational lightcurve of Euboea was obtained from photometric observations by astronomers at the Oakley Southern Sky Observatory in Australia. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 11.41 hours with a brightness variation of 0.50 magnitude ({{small|U=3}}). In April 2010, a similar period of 11.396 hours and an amplitude of 0.46 magnitude was measured by French amateur astronomer Pierre Antonini ({{small|U=3}}).

In 2016, two modeled lightcurves were published using photometric data from the Lowell Photometric Database and other sources. They gave a concurring sidereal period of 11.3981 and 11.39823 hours, respectively. Each study also determined two respective spin axes of (79.0°, 75.0°) and (282.0°, 55.0°), and (71.0°, 61.0°) and (280.0°, 54.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).

= 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, Euboea measures between 18.37 and 31.90 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.0576 and 0.213. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives a low albedo of 0.0539 – typical for carbonaceous C-type asteroids – and a diameter of 31.46 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.3.
