1737 Severny, provisional designation 1966 TJ, is a stony asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 22 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 13 October 1966 by Russian female astronomer Lyudmila Chernykh at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj.[9]
The S-type asteroid is a member of the Eos family. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.9–3.2 AU once every 5 years and 3 months (1,912 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.05 and is tilted by 9 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 14.110 hours and an albedo of 0.181, according to the surveys carried out by IRAS, Akari, WISE and NEOWISE.[4][5][6]
Named by the discoverer in honor of Soviet astronomer Andrei Severny (1913–1987), who was the Director of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory[2] and known for his work on solar flares and astronomical observations from artificial satellites.
