2009 Voloshina, provisional designation 1968 UL, is an asteroid in the asteroid belt, about 35 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Russian astronomer Tamara Smirnova at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj on 22 October 1968. The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.6 AU once every five and a half years. Its orbit lies nearly in the ecliptic plane as it is tilted by less than 3 degrees. Measurements by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, IRAS, show a geometric albedo of 0.07. The asteroid rotates around its axis once every six hours.[1][2]
It was named in honor of Vera Danilovna Voloshina (1919–1941), a partisan of the Soviet Great Patriotic War (1941–1945), also known as the Eastern Front of the Second World War.[3]
