1035 Amata, provisional designation 1924 SW, is an asteroid of the main belt. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Obervatory on September 29, 1924. It measures about 51 kilometers in diameter.[1]
The asteroid was possibly named after Amata, the wife of King Latinus and mother of Lavinia, figures in Roman mythology and characters in Virgil's Aeneid.[2]
