3067 Akhmatova, provisional designation 1982 TE2, is an asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, about 6 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 14 October 1982, by Soviet–Russian female astronomers Lyudmila Karachkina and Lyudmila Zhuravlyova at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula.[6]
The S-type asteroid is a member of the Flora family, one of the largest groups of stony asteroids in the main-belt. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.9–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,229 days). Its orbit is tilted by 5 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic and shows an eccentricity of 0.14. The body has a well-defined rotation period of 3.686 hours[lower-alpha 1][5] and an albedo of 0.27, based on observations by the U.S. Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission.[4] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a value of 0.24, identical to the albedo of the asteroid family's namesake, the asteroid 8 Flora.[3]
The minor planet was named in honor of Russian modernist poet, Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966), outstanding poetess, awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Oxford.[2]
