2022 OG2

2022 OG2 is an Amor-type near-Earth asteroid that approaches Earth from beyond our orbit without crossing it, orbiting the Sun at 1.522 AU once every 1.88 yr.

Orbit and dynamics

The path is an ellipse reaching 1.195 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.849 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.654 AU.

Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.522 AU gives an orbital period of 1.88 yr, or about 686 days.

An eccentricity of 0.215 makes the orbit moderately elongated.

The orbital plane is tilted 9.35° relative to the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 30 km/s at perihelion and falls to 19.4 km/s at aphelion.

Its perihelion lies just outside Earth's orbit, which is why it is classed as Earth-approaching rather than Earth-crossing.

Size and surface

No direct size measurement is available; from an absolute magnitude of H = 23.56 and an assumed geometric albedo of 0.14, the diameter works out to roughly 0.07 km.

Observation record and orbit quality

The current orbit solution is based on 40 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.4231 arcseconds.

Condition code U = 5 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.
