761 Brendelia
761 Brendelia is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by German astronomer Franz Kaiser on September 8, 1913, and named after Otto Rudolf Martin Brendel. It is orbiting at a distance of 2.8619 AU from the Sun with a period of 4.842 yr and an orbital eccentricity of 0.065297. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 2.16° to the plane of the ecliptic.[1]
