1470 Carla, provisionally designated 1938 SD, is a main-belt asteroid that was discovered on September 17, 1938, by German astronomer Alfred Bohrmann at Heidelberg Observatory. It has a perihelion of 2.94 AU, an eccentricity of 0.069 and an orbital period of 5.61 years. The asteroid measures about 37 kilometers in diameter and is inclined by 3.2 degrees to the ecliptic.[1]
Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces, New Mexico, in 2011 gave a light curve with a period of 6.1514 ± 0.0002 hours and a brightness variation of 0.25 ± 0.02 in magnitude.[3]
It was named in honor of Carla Ziegler, a friend of the Bohrmann family at Heidelberg.[2]
