1414 Jérôme
1414 Jérôme, provisional designation 1937 CE, is a somewhat eccentric, carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 17 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 12 February 1937 by French astronomer Louis Boyer at Algiers Observatory, Algeria, in northern Africa.
The dark C-type asteroid, classified as a Ch-subtype in the SMASS classification scheme, which have a typical absorption feature in the visible red light, orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.3–3.2 AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,697 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.16 and is tilted by 9 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has an albedo of 0.065. Although the body's diameter and albedo were measured by four observations made by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, IRAS, little is known about the asteroid, with its rotation period remaining unknown, despite having a well-observed orbit with the lowest possible uncertainty, or condition code, of 0 and an observation arc that spans over a period of almost 80 years.
