1380 Volodia, provisional designation 1936 FM, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 23 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by French astronomer Louis Boyer at Algiers Observatory, Algeria, in North Africa, on 16 March 1936.[7] Five nights later, the body was independently discovered by Belgian astronomer Eugène Delporte at the observatory in Uccle, Belgium.[2]
The C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.8–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,044 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.10 and is tilted by 10 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 8 hours[6] and an albedo of 0.075–0.078, as observed by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and subsequent NEOWISE mission.[4][5] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a somewhat lower albedo of 0.058.[3]
The minor planet's name is the diminutive of the Russian name Vladimir. It was named after Vladimir Vesselovsky, born the night of the asteroid's discovery.[2]
