397 Vienna is a typical Main belt asteroid. It was discovered by French astronomer Auguste Charlois on 19 December 1894 in Nice. It was most likely named after the city of Vienna, Austria.[3] This object is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 2.64 AU with an orbital eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.246 and a period of 4.28 yr. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 12.85° to the ecliptic.[2]
Photometric observations from multiple sites during 2017 were combined to produce an irregular light curve showing a rotation period of 15.461±0.001 h with a luminosity amplitude of 0.16±0.02 in magnitude. This result is consistent with previous measurements.[4] The Tholen spectral type of this object is S and the SMASSII spectral type is K. Although the 'S' class suggests a stony composition, the latter class is consistent with carbonaceous chondrite meteorites.[5] Infrared observations from NEOWISE indicate a diameter of 49 km.[2]
