海后星（29 Amphitrite）是最大的S-型小行星之一，直徑約200公里（120哩），可能是繼司法星、婚神星、虹神星和大力神星之後的第五大小行星。

發現

海后星由阿爾伯特·馬爾特於1854年3月1日在倫敦攝政公園的私人南別墅天文台發現。這是馬爾特發現的唯一一顆小行星。天文台的擁有者喬治·畢曉普（George Bishop）為這顆小行星命名，取自希臘神話中的海洋女神安菲特里忒的名字命名。這顆小行星的歷史符號是貝殼和星星；在Unicode 17.0 中，它的編碼為U+1CECF 𜻏 ( )。^[14]^[15]

物理特徵

基於光變曲線繪製的海后星3D模型

海后星軌道比其他較大的小行星更接近圓形，傾斜度也較小。事實上，它是迄今為止發現的所有小行星中軌道最圓的。正因因此，海后星的亮度從未像虹神星或韶神星那樣明亮，尤其是因為它比這些小行星離太陽更遠。在有利的沖日條件下，海后星的星等可達到 +8.6 左右，但通常接近雙筒望遠鏡的可見極限，約為+9.5等^[16]^[17]。

詹姆斯·貝爾（James Baer）和史蒂芬·R·切斯利（Steven R. Chesley）在2007年的研究估計海后星的質量為1.9 ×10¹⁹公斤^[18]。而來自貝爾最新的研究估計它的質量為1.18 ×10¹⁹公斤^[7]。

根據愛德華·F·特德斯科收集的光變曲線數據，海后星可能存在一顆衛星^[19]^[20]。1988年，人們利用毛納基山天文台的UH88望遠鏡搜尋這顆小行星周圍的衛星或塵埃，但一無所獲^[21]。
