1036 Ganymed is the largest Amor asteroid. It was discovered by Walter Baade on October 23, 1924 and is named after Ganymede, the beautiful youth with whom Zeus fell in love.
Ganymed is about 32 km in diameter and is an S-type asteroid, meaning that it is highly reflective and composed of nickel-iron mixed with iron- and magnesium-silicates. It is also a Mars-crosser asteroid.
In 1998, a radar study of Ganymed by the Arecibo radio telescope produced some images of the asteroid's shape. Although not very detailed, the images reveal a roughly spherical object.
One occultation of a star by Ganymed was observed from California on August 22, 1985.
Obviously, not to be confused with Jupiter's moon Ganymede.
