Main-belt asteroid
160 Una is a fairly large and dark, primitive Main belt asteroid that was discovered by German-American astronomer C. H. F. Peters on February 20, 1876, in Clinton, New York .[ 8] Edmund Spenser 's epic poem The Faerie Queene Sun at a distance of AU eccentricity of 0.07. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 3.83° to the plane of the ecliptic .[ 2]
In the Tholen classification system it is categorized as a CX-type , while the Bus asteroid taxonomy system lists it as an Xk asteroid .[ 9] Photometric observations of this asteroid made at the Torino Observatory in Italy during 1990–1991 were used to determine a synodic rotation period of 5.61 ± 0.01 hours.[ 3]
