[1] The S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 5.7 hours and measures approximately 14 kilometers (9 miles) in diameter.
[2] Stavropolis is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.
[1] This minor planet was named by the discover after the Russian city of Stavropol, located in northern Caucasus region.
[5] In September 2001, a rotational lightcurve of Stavropolis was obtained from photometric observations by Americans Larry Robinson and Brian Warner at the Sunflower (739) and Palmer Divide Observatory (716) in Kansas and Colorado, respectively.
[13] According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Stavropolis measures between 10.94 and 13.898 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.146 and 0.406,[6][7][8] while the Japanese Akari satellite found a diameter of 13.92 kilometers with an albedo of 0.145.
