1102 Pepita, provisional designation 1928 VA, is a stony background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 39 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 5 November 1928, by Catalan astronomer Josep Comas i Solà at the Fabra Observatory in Barcelona, Spain.[14] It was named after the discoverer by the feminine form of his nickname.[2] The asteroid has a rotation period of 5.1 hours.[3]
