4082 Swann (1984 SW3) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on September 27, 1984 by C. S. Shoemaker at Palomar,[1] and is named after her granddaughter, Carri Susan Swann. The rotational period is 4.0 hours. It has been examined spectroscopically, and appears to have a Class B asteroidal spectrum. Given the distance, magnitude and spectral type, it probably has an albedo in the range of 20 to 30, yielding a diameter in the range of 25 to 35 kilometers.
