The meaning of the asteroid name is uncertain, but it may come from Coronis the mother of Asclepius from Greek mythology .
The S-type asteroid is a member of the Koronis family, a group consisting of about 200 known bodies with nearly ecliptical orbits. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.7–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 9 months (1,743 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.06 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic. [1]
277 Elvira is a typical main belt asteroid and is a member of the Koronis asteroid family.It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 3 May 1888 in Nice. 277 Elvira is possibly named for a character in Alphonse de Lamartine's Méditations poétiques (1820) and Harmonies poétiques et religieuses (1830).

The Koronis or Koronian family (FIN: 605), also known as the Lacrimosa family, [1]: 16 is a very large asteroid family of stony asteroids, located in the outer region of the asteroid belt. They are thought to have been formed at least two billion years ago in a catastrophic collision between two larger bodies.
During 2003, the asteroid was observed occulting a star. The resulting chords provided a cross-section diameter estimate of 44.3 km. [3] 10μ radiometric data collected from Kitt Peak in 1975 gave a diameter estimate of 42 km for this asteroid. [4] It is classified as an S-type asteroid and is one of the largest members of the Koronis asteroid ...
