540 Rosamunde is an S-type asteroid[https://web.archive.org/web/20061201092811/http://www.psi.edu/pds/resource/taxonomy.html] belonging to the Flora family in the Main Belt. Its diameter is about 19 km and it has an albedo of 0.243 [https://web.archive.org/web/20070119015129/http://www.psi.edu/pds/resource/imps.html]. Its rotation period is 9.336 hours[https://archive.today/20060614093519/http://www.psi.edu/pds/archive/lc.html].
Rosamunde is named for a character in a play of the same title for which Franz Schubert wrote incidental music.{{cite book|author=Lutz D.
