10693

10693 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on September 14, 1977, by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Chernykh at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, Ukraine. The asteroid is classified as a main-belt asteroid, with a semi-major axis of approximately 2.77 astronomical units (AU). Its orbital period is about 4.6 years, and its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.14 and an inclination of 10.1 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane.

The size of 10693 is estimated to be around 10 kilometers in diameter. It has a rotation period of about 12.4 hours. The asteroid's spectral type is classified as S-type, indicating that it has a stony composition, similar to many other asteroids in the main belt. The surface of 10693 is likely composed of silicate minerals and metals.

The asteroid is named after the Russian mathematician and physicist Pyotr Lebedev. The naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on July 2, 2003 (M.P.C. 49214). As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, no significant events or discoveries related to 10693 have been documented in recent scientific literature.
