Orbit and dynamics
The path is an ellipse reaching 0.904 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.742 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.838 AU.
Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.323 AU gives an orbital period of 1.52 yr, or about 556 days.
An eccentricity of 0.317 makes the orbit moderately elongated.
Its inclination of 0.05° keeps it close to the plane of the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 35.9 km/s at perihelion and falls to 18.7 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
Neither a measured diameter nor a reliable absolute magnitude is available for 2022 AV13, so its physical size remains unconstrained.
Observation record and orbit quality
The current orbit solution is based on 9 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.4319 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.
