Orbit and dynamics
The path is an ellipse reaching 0.396 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.498 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 1.102 AU.
Applying Kepler's third law to a = 0.947 AU gives an orbital period of 0.92 yr, or about 337 days.
The high eccentricity (0.582) produces a strongly elongated orbit, so the object spends most of its time far from the Sun.
The orbital plane is tilted 5.27° relative to the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 59.5 km/s at perihelion and falls to 15.7 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.
A geometric albedo of 0.491 points to a comparatively bright, reflective surface.
Observation record and orbit quality
The current orbit solution is based on 73 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.5338 arcseconds.
Condition code U = 6 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.
