Designations

| MPC designation | 3449 |
| Alternative names[1] | 1978 VR9 |
| Epoch May 14, 2008 | |
| Ap | 3. Events 1492 - The Ensisheim Meteorite the oldest Meteorite with a known date of impact strikes the Earth around noon in a Wheat Year 1978 ( MCMLXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar) A provisional designation in astronomy is the naming convention applied to Astronomical objects immediately following their discovery In Physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of one object around a point or another body for example the gravitational orbit of a planet around a star In Astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time used as a reference for the Orbital elements of a Celestial body. Events 1264 - Battle of Lewes: Henry III of England is captured in France making Simon de Montfort the 2008 ( MMVIII) is the current year in accordance with the Gregorian calendar, a Leap year that started on Tuesday of the Common In Celestial mechanics, an apsis, plural apsides (ˈæpsɨdɪːz is the point of greatest or least distance of the Elliptical orbit of an object from 5715080 |
| Peri | 2. In Celestial mechanics, an apsis, plural apsides (ˈæpsɨdɪːz is the point of greatest or least distance of the Elliptical orbit of an object from 5803216 |
| Eccentricity | 0. In Astrodynamics, under standard assumptions, any Orbit must be of Conic section shape 1611206 |
| Orbital period | 1970. The orbital period is the time taken for a given object to make one complete Orbit about another object 4249074 |
| Mean anomaly | 177. In the study of orbital dynamics the mean anomaly of an orbiting body is the Angle the body would have traveled about the center of the orbit's Auxiliary circle 94239 |
| Inclination | 2. Inclination in general is the Angle between a Reference plane and another plane or axis of direction 04726 |
| Longitude of ascending node | 81. The longitude of the ascending node (☊ or Ω is one of the Orbital elements used to specify the Orbit of an object in space 53426 |
| Argument of peri | 333. The argument of periapsis (or argument of perifocus) ( ω) is the Orbital element describing the Angle of an Orbiting body's periapsis 59945 |
| Absolute magnitude | 12. For the majority of numbered Asteroids almost nothing is known apart from a few physical parameters In Astronomy, absolute magnitude (also known as absolute visual magnitude) is the Apparent magnitude an object would have if it were at a standard 4 |
3449 Abell (1978 VR9) is a Main-belt Asteroid discovered on November 07, 1978 by Helin, E. The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the Planets Mars and Jupiter. Events 1492 - The Ensisheim Meteorite the oldest Meteorite with a known date of impact strikes the Earth around noon in a Wheat Year 1978 ( MCMLXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar) F. and Bus, S.
