    1341 Edmée, provisional designation 1935 BA, is an asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 27 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Belgian astronomer Eugène Joseph Delporte at Royal Observatory of Belgium in Uccle, on 27 January 1935.[11]

    The X-type asteroid is classified as a rare XB-subtype in the taxonomy. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.5–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,658 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.08 and is tilted by 13 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has two divergent 2015-photometric measurements of its rotation period. While one observation gave a period of 23.75 hours[9] another observation rendered only 5.99 hours.[10] According to the surveys carried out by IRAS, Akari, WISE/NEOWISE, the body's albedo is in the range of 0.13–0.18.[4][5][6]

    The minor planet was named in honour of French female astronomer Edmée Chandon.[2]
