    17163 Vasifedoseev, provisional designation 1999 LT19, is a stony Koronian asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 4 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research team (LINEAR) at the U.S. Magdalena Ridge Observatory in Socorro, New Mexico, on 9 June 1999.[7]

    The S-type asteroid is a member of the Koronis family, a group consisting of about 300 known bodies. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 11 months (1,808 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 1° from the plane of the ecliptic.[1]

    A photometric light-curve analysis from the wide-field survey at the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory in 2013, rendered a rotation period of 4.1124±0.0006 hours with a brightness variation of 0.23 in magnitude (U=2).[5] According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures 4.9 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.17,[4] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 and calculates a diameter of 3.7 kilometers.[3]

    The minor planet was named after Russian Vasiliy G. Fedoseev (b. 1986) an awardee of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in 2003. At the time, he attended the Lyceum of Information Technologies Moscow, Russia.[2]
