Beshore

Beshore follows a distinctly cometary orbit: an eccentricity of 0.309 carries it from 2.409 AU at perihelion out to 4.559 AU at aphelion.

Orbit and dynamics

Between its closest point (2.409 AU) and its farthest (4.559 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 2.15 AU over every revolution.

One full revolution takes 6.50 yr (2,375 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 3.484 AU.

An eccentricity of 0.309 makes the orbit moderately elongated.

The orbital plane is tilted 10.26° relative to the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 22 km/s at perihelion and falls to 11.6 km/s at aphelion.

Its Tisserand parameter with respect to Jupiter is T_J = 3.03, a standard discriminator between asteroidal and cometary dynamics.

Size and surface

Neither a measured diameter nor a reliable absolute magnitude is available for Beshore, so its physical size remains unconstrained.

Observation record and orbit quality

Astrometry from 569 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.6961 arcseconds.

Condition code U = 1 means the orbit is very well determined, leaving only a small uncertainty in the future ephemeris.

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.
