328 Gudrun is a large main-belt asteroid. It was discovered by German astronomer Max Wolf on March 18, 1892, in Heidelberg. This minor planet is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 3.11 AU with a period of 5.486 yr and an orbital eccentricity of 0.106. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 16.1° to the plane of the ecliptic.[2]
Analysis of the light curve generated from photometric data collected in March 2012 provide a rotation period estimate of 10.992±0.002 h with a brightness variation of 0.32±0.02 in B magnitude.[5] A study in 2022 found a classification of Cgh for 328 Gudrun, suggesting this is a dark, carbonaceous asteroid.[4]
