17102 Begzhigitova (1999 JB41) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on May 10, 1999, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research team at Socorro, New Mexico.[1] A rotation period of 5.341 hours was determined at Modra Observatory in 2008 however this is a very tentative result and longer rotation periods are not ruled out.[4] The asteroid was named for Akmaral Begzhigitova who won fourth place in the 2003 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for her mathematics team project.[6]
