2697 Albina, provisional designation 1969 TC3, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 52 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Russian female astronomer Bella Burnasheva at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on 9 October 1969.[8]
The dark C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.3–3.8 AU once every 6 years and 9 months (2,455 days). Its orbit is tilted by 4 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic and shows an eccentricity of 0.08. It has a rotation period of 16.6 hours[6] and an albedo of 0.053 and 0.055, according to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, IRAS, and the Japanese Akari satellite, respectively.[3][4]
The minor planet was named in honor of Albina Alekseevna Serova, Moscow astronomer, friend of the discoverer.[2]
