2019 AV7

2019 AV7 belongs to the Apollo group of near-Earth asteroids, whose orbits cross the path of Earth; with a semi-major axis of 1.076 AU it takes 1.12 yr to circle the Sun.

Orbit and dynamics

The path is an ellipse reaching 0.99 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.162 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.172 AU.

Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.076 AU gives an orbital period of 1.12 yr, or about 408 days.

With e = 0.08, the orbit is close to circular.

A steep inclination of 32.72° carries it well above and below the ecliptic plane.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 31.1 km/s at perihelion and falls to 26.5 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 = 23.7 and an assumed geometric albedo of 0.14, the diameter works out to roughly 0.06 km.

Observation record and orbit quality

The current orbit solution is based on 21 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.82 arcseconds.

Condition code U = 8 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.
