Therefore, it does not fit the criteria for a vulcanoid or ꞋAylóꞌchaxnim asteroid, which would require it have a wholly intra-Mercurian and intra-Venusian orbit respectively.
2004 JG6 was discovered on 11 May 2004, by leading astronomer Brian Skiff of the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) at Anderson Mesa Station near Flagstaff, United States.
[2] It orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.3–1.0 AU once every 6 months (185 days).
[4] Its orbital period is less than that of Venus, making it one of the closest known objects to the Sun, after Mercury.
[1] Based on a generic conversion from absolute magnitude, the asteroid measures between 0.6 and 1.4 kilometers in diameter.
