Orbit and dynamics

Between its closest point (0.965 AU) and its farthest (1.131 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 0.166 AU over every revolution.

One full revolution takes 1.07 yr (392 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 1.048 AU.

With e = 0.08, the orbit is close to circular.

Its inclination of 0.58° keeps it close to the plane of the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 31.5 km/s at perihelion and falls to 26.9 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 LE, so its physical size remains unconstrained.

Observation record and orbit quality

Astrometry from 59 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.5756 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.
