It was discovered on 1 September 1984, by Italian astronomer Maria Barucci at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States.
[1] The presumed E-type asteroid has a longer-than average rotation period of 37.4 hours and possibly an elongated shape.
[3] In July 2013, a rotational lightcurve of this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations by American astronomer Brian Warner at the Palmer Divide Station (U82) in California.
Lightcurve analysis gave a long rotation period of 37.44 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.66 magnitude, indicative of an elongated shape (U=2).
[5][6] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.30 – a compromise value between the E- (0.40) and S-type (0.20) members of the Hungaria family and group, respectively – and calculates a diameter of 2.43 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 15.0.
