3247 Di Martino  3247 Di Martino ("prov. designation": ) is a dark Nysa family asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 30 December 1981, by American astronomer Edward Bowell at Lowell's Anderson Mesa Station near Flagstaff, Arizona, in the United States. The asteroid has a rotation period of 5.4 hours and measures approximately in diameter. It was named for Italian astronomer Mario di Martino. "Di Martino" is member of the Nysa–Polana complex (), one of the largest asteroid families. Its low albedo "(see below)" it likely belongs to the Polana family within the larger Nysa–Polana complex. The asteroid orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.1–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 8 months (1,339 days; semi-major axis of 2.38 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its first observation as at Heidelberg Observatory in January 1909, almost 73 years prior to its official discovery observation at Anderson Mesa. This minor planet was named after Mario di Martino (born 1947), Italian astronomer and photometrist of lightcurves at the Turin Observatory. The official naming proposed by the discoverer. The citation was prepared by Alain Harris and published by the Minor Planet Center on 14 April 1987 (). "Di Martino" is an assumed S-type asteroid, while its low albedo indicates a carbonaceous composition. Three rotational lightcurve of "Di Martino" have been obtained from photometric observations by French amateur astronomer Pierre Antonini and at the Palomar Transient Factory and Haute Provence Observatory (). Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 5.445 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.32 and 0.51 magnitude (), indicative of a somewhat elongated shape. In 2016, a modeled lightcurve gave a concurring sidereal period of 5.44517 hours using photometric data from a large international collaboration of astronomers. The study also determined two spin axes of (53.0°, −70.0°) and (231.0°, −75.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β). According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, "Di Martino" measures between 11.267 and 15.60 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.05 and 0.0925.
