1439 Vogtia, provisional designation 1937 TE, is a dark Hildian asteroid from the outermost region of the asteroid belt, about 48 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on 11 October 1937.[8]
The asteroid is a member of the Hilda family, a large group that orbits in resonance with the gas giant Jupiter and are thought to have originated from the Kuiper belt. Its X-spectral type is classified as a XFU-subtype in the Tholen taxonomy. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.5–4.5 AU once every 8 years (2,925 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.12 and is tilted by 4 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of almost 13 hours[6] and a low albedo of 0.04–0.05, according to the surveys carried out by IRAS, Akari, WISE/NEOWISE.[4][5][7]
The minor planet was named after German astronomer Heinrich Vogt (1890–1968), at the University of Heidelberg,[2] discoverer of 735 Marghanna, and known member of the Nazi paramilitary Sturmabteilung.[9]
