Orbit and dynamics
The path is an ellipse reaching 0.934 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 2.078 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 1.144 AU.
Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.506 AU gives an orbital period of 1.85 yr, or about 675 days.
An eccentricity of 0.38 makes the orbit moderately elongated.
The orbital plane is tilted 19.49° relative to the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 36.2 km/s at perihelion and falls to 16.3 km/s at aphelion.
Because q < 1 AU and Q > 1 AU, this orbit geometrically intersects the region of Earth's orbit.
Size and surface
No direct size measurement is available; from an absolute magnitude of H = 23.13 and an assumed geometric albedo of 0.14, the diameter works out to roughly 0.08 km.
Observation record and orbit quality
The current orbit solution is based on 41 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.4684 arcseconds.
Condition code U = 4 indicates a moderately constrained orbit; predictions decades ahead still carry noticeable uncertainty.
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.
