surface, or, it might be due to a yet undetermined long period. Typically, a collaboration of astronomers taking photometric measurements around the globe is required to measures the period of such slow rotators. Diameter and albedo According to the survey carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Franklina measures between 31.1 and 33.2 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.18 and 0.21. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.1837, and adopts a diameter of 32.47 kilometers from IRAS, based on an absolute magnitude of 9.9.
