Orbit and dynamics
Between its closest point (2.689 AU) and its farthest (5.639 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 2.95 AU over every revolution.
One full revolution takes 8.50 yr (3,104 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 4.164 AU.
An eccentricity of 0.354 makes the orbit moderately elongated.
The orbital plane is tilted 9.63° relative to the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 21.1 km/s at perihelion and falls to 10.1 km/s at aphelion.
Its Tisserand parameter with respect to Jupiter is T_J = 2.9, a standard discriminator between asteroidal and cometary dynamics.
Size and surface
Neither a measured diameter nor a reliable absolute magnitude is available for WISE, so its physical size remains unconstrained.
Observation record and orbit quality
Astrometry from 229 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.755 arcseconds.
Condition code U = 0 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.
