[2] Ueta is a S-type asteroid, that orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.8–2.6 AU once every 3 years and 4 months (1,225 days).

Best rated lightcurves were obtained by astronomers Robert Stephens and David Higgins in September 2009, securing an identical rotation period of 2.720 hours with a brightness variation of 0.35 and 0.39 magnitude, respectively (U=3/3).

[10][11] Modeled lightcurves from various photometric data sources also gave a similar period of 2.717943 and 2.718238 hours (U=n.a.).

[3] Ueta was named by the discoverer for the former Director of Kwasan Observatory (also see § External links) who encouraged him to keep on with his observations of minor planets and comets.

[2] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 1 February 1965 (M.P.C.
