Orbit and dynamics

Between its closest point (6.701 AU) and its farthest (-1,083,200 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by -1,083,207 AU over every revolution.

The high eccentricity (1) produces a strongly elongated orbit, so the object spends most of its time far from the Sun.

A steep inclination of 95.43° carries it well above and below the ecliptic plane.

Size and surface

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

Observation record and orbit quality

Astrometry from 59 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.4248 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.
