Orbit and dynamics
The path is an ellipse reaching 0.933 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.103 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.17 AU.
Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.018 AU gives an orbital period of 1.03 yr, or about 375 days.
With e = 0.083, the orbit is close to circular.
A steep inclination of 24.02° carries it well above and below the ecliptic plane.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 32.1 km/s at perihelion and falls to 27.2 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
No direct size measurement is available; from an absolute magnitude of H = 25 and an assumed geometric albedo of 0.14, the diameter works out to roughly 0.04 km.
Observation record and orbit quality
The current orbit solution is based on 56 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.346 arcseconds.
Condition code U = 7 signals a poorly constrained orbit, so its future path should be treated as provisional.
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.
