Orbit and dynamics

The path is an ellipse reaching 1.3 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 2.25 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.95 AU.

Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.775 AU gives an orbital period of 2.36 yr, or about 864 days.

An eccentricity of 0.268 makes the orbit moderately elongated.

The orbital plane is tilted 15.22° relative to the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 29.4 km/s at perihelion and falls to 17 km/s at aphelion.

Size and surface

No direct size measurement is available; from an absolute magnitude of H = 20.73 and an assumed geometric albedo of 0.14, the diameter works out to roughly 0.25 km.

Observation record and orbit quality

The current orbit solution is based on 22 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.5397 arcseconds.

Condition code U = 4 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.
