2590 Mourão

2590 Mourão, provisional designation 1980 kJ, is a rocky vestoid asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, about 7 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 22 May 1980, by Belgian astronomer Henri Debehogne at ESO's La Silla Observatory in northern Chile.

The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.1–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 7 months (1,310 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.12 and is tilted by 6 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. Based on its orbital elements, the V-type asteroid is not classified as a Vestian, but as a member of the Flora family, one of the largest groups of asteroids in the main-belt. V-type asteroids are less common than the abundant S-type asteroids but similar in composition, except for their higher concentration of pyroxenes, an aluminium-rich silicate mineral.

According to the survey carried out by the WISE and subsequent NEOWISE mission, the body's albedo amounts to 0.61, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a somewhat less extraordinary value of 0.4.Photometric observations of this asteroid reported in 2007 show a rotation period of 7001155900000000000♠15.59±0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 6999490000000000000♠0.49 magnitude. However, a provisional observation in 2013 gave a divergent period of almost 36 hours.
