2023 AV

2023 AV belongs to the Apollo group of near-Earth asteroids, whose orbits cross the path of Earth; with a semi-major axis of 1.133 AU it takes 1.21 yr to circle the Sun.

Orbit and dynamics

The path is an ellipse reaching 0.683 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.583 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.9 AU.

Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.133 AU gives an orbital period of 1.21 yr, or about 440 days.

An eccentricity of 0.397 makes the orbit moderately elongated.

The orbital plane is tilted 10.65° relative to the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 42.6 km/s at perihelion and falls to 18.4 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 2023 AV, so its physical size remains unconstrained.

Observation record and orbit quality

The current orbit solution is based on 19 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.2231 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.
