Orbit and dynamics
The path is an ellipse reaching 0.965 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.226 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.261 AU.
Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.095 AU gives an orbital period of 1.15 yr, or about 419 days.
An eccentricity of 0.119 makes the orbit moderately elongated.
Its inclination of 4.7° keeps it close to the plane of the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 32.1 km/s at perihelion and falls to 25.2 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
The measured diameter is 0.05 km, a value from direct size determination rather than from brightness alone.
Its geometric albedo of 0.037 indicates a very dark, carbonaceous-type surface.
Observation record and orbit quality
The current orbit solution is based on 96 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.4273 arcseconds.
Condition code U = 5 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.
