[1] The assumed C-type asteroid has a rotation period of 8.1 hours and possibly an elongated shape.
[3] It was named for the Russian Sternberg Astronomical Institute (GAISh) of Moscow State University.
[3] In October 2010, a rotational lightcurve of GAISh was obtained from photometric observations in the R-band by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California.
Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 8.086 hours with a high brightness amplitude of 0.82 magnitude, indicative of a non-spherical shape (U=2).
[3] This minor planet was named after the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (GAISh, ГАИШ), a division of Moscow State University.
