360 Carlova
Main-belt asteroid
360 Carlova is a very large main-belt asteroid.[1] It is classified as a C-type asteroid and is probably composed of carbonaceous material. The asteroid has a convex, roughly ellipsoid shape.[2] The sidereal rotation period is 6.1873 hours with an axis of rotation along the ecliptic coordinates (l, b) = (95°±3°, 40°±1°).[3] It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 11 March 1893 in Nice.
