2023 GR

2023 GR is an Amor-type near-Earth asteroid that approaches Earth from beyond our orbit without crossing it, orbiting the Sun at 1.58 AU once every 1.99 yr.

Orbit and dynamics

Between its closest point (1.039 AU) and its farthest (2.12 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 1.081 AU over every revolution.

One full revolution takes 1.99 yr (725 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 1.58 AU.

An eccentricity of 0.342 makes the orbit moderately elongated.

The orbital plane is tilted 14.65° relative to the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 33.9 km/s at perihelion and falls to 16.6 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 = 23.95 and an assumed geometric albedo of 0.14, the diameter works out to roughly 0.06 km.

Observation record and orbit quality

Astrometry from 105 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.5002 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.
