Beshore

Beshore follows a distinctly cometary orbit: an eccentricity of 0.996 carries it from 2.862 AU at perihelion out to 1,337.9 AU at aphelion.

Orbit and dynamics

Between its closest point (2.862 AU) and its farthest (1,337.9 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 1,335.1 AU over every revolution.

One full revolution takes 17,358 yr (6,340,029 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 670.4 AU.

The high eccentricity (0.996) produces a strongly elongated orbit, so the object spends most of its time far from the Sun.

A steep inclination of 91.94° carries it well above and below the ecliptic plane.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 24.9 km/s at perihelion and falls to 0.1 km/s at aphelion.

Its Tisserand parameter with respect to Jupiter is T_J = -0.06, a standard discriminator between asteroidal and cometary dynamics.

Size and surface

Neither a measured diameter nor a reliable absolute magnitude is available for Beshore, so its physical size remains unconstrained.

Observation record and orbit quality

Astrometry from 102 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.8132 arcseconds.

About these computed values

Orbital periods, perihelion and aphelion speeds, and diameter estimates on this page are computed by SpaceAtlas from the JPL SBDB orbital elements. They are derived quantities, not values copied from the source catalogue.
