1466 Mündleria, provisional designation 1938 KA, is a dark, carbonaceous asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, about 22 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on 31 May 1938.[7]
The C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.0–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 8 months (1,339 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.16 and is tilted by 13 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has an unknown rotation period and an albedo of 0.04–0.06, according to the surveys carried out by Akari, WISE and NEOWISE.[4][5][6]
The asteroid was named after German astronomer Max Mündler (1876–1969), staff member at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory. The name was proposed by Heinrich Vogt after whom the minor planet 1439 Vogtia is named.[2]
