    107 Camilla (kə-MIL-ə) is one of the largest main-belt asteroids. It orbits within the Cybele Group, beyond most main-belt asteroids. It has a very dark surface and primitive carbonaceous composition. It was discovered on 17 November 1868, by English astronomer Norman Pogson at Madras Observatory, India, and named after Camilla, Queen of the Volsci in Roman mythology.[3][2]

    10µ radiometric data collected from Kitt Peak in 1975 gave a diameter estimate of 209 km.[35] Lightcurve analysis indicates that Camilla's pole most likely points towards ecliptic coordinates (β, λ) = (+51°, 72°) with a 10° uncertainty,[20] which gives it an axial tilt of 29°.

    Satellites

    First satellite

    On 1 March 2001, a minor-planet moon of Camilla was found by A. Storrs, F. Vilas, R. Landis, E. Wells, C. Woods, B. Zellner, and M. Gaffey using the Hubble Space Telescope.[5] It has been designated S/2001 (107) 1 but has not yet received an official name.

    Later observations in September 2005 with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) allowed the determination of an orbit. Apart from data in infobox, the inclination was found to be 3 ± 1° with respect to an axis pointing towards (β, λ) = (+55°, 75°). Given the ~10° uncertainty in the actual rotational axis of Camilla, one can say that the orbit's inclination is less than 10°.

    The satellite is estimated to measure about 11 km in diameter.[7] Assuming a similar density to the primary, this would give it an approximate mass of ~1.5×1015 kg. It has a similar colour to the primary.[5]

    Second satellite

    In 2016, the discovery of a second satellite of Camilla was reported by astronomers at Cerro Paranal's Very Large Telescope in Chile. It has the provisional designation S/2016 (107) 1.[6]

    Observations were taken between 29 May 2015 and 30 July 2016, using the VLT-SPHERE, the principal instrument attached to the 8-meter "Melipal" (UT3) unit of the VLT. On 3 out of 5 observation sessions, the new satellite could be detected.[6] The body's orbit has a semi-major axis of 340 kilometers.[4]

    The "Johnstonsarchive" estimates an orbital period of 12 hours, and derives a diameter for the second satellite of 3.5±0.5 kilometers with a tertiary-to-primary mean-diameter ratio of 0.016±0.002.[4]

    Camilla is the 6th trinary asteroid that has been discovered in the asteroid belt after 87 Sylvia, 45 Eugenia, 216 Kleopatra, 93 Minerva and 130 Elektra.
