1001 Gaussia is a main-belt asteroid about 75 kilometers in diameter. Initially it received the designation 1923 OA. Later it was named after the mathematician Carl F. Gauss.[2] It has a mean visual magnitude of 9.77. Observation of the change in magnitude of this minor planet suggests it has a rotation period of 9.127 ± 0.002 h. Over this period it undergoes variation in magnitude of 0.16.[4]
