Orbit and dynamics
Between its closest point (0.495 AU) and its farthest (1.053 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 0.558 AU over every revolution.
One full revolution takes 0.68 yr (249 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 0.774 AU.
An eccentricity of 0.36 makes the orbit moderately elongated.
Its inclination of 1.43° keeps it close to the plane of the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 49.4 km/s at perihelion and falls to 23.2 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 = 27.2 and an assumed geometric albedo of 0.14, the diameter works out to roughly 0.01 km.
Observation record and orbit quality
Astrometry from 82 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.5802 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.
