[1] As of 2017, Barbaradoore has become a Mars-crossing asteroid (MCA), a dynamically unstable group between the main belt and the near-Earth populations, because its perihelion is at 1.6657, declining from 1.6662 AU just the year before.
Barbaradoore is an assumed stony S-type asteroid,[3] which agrees with the overall spectral type for members of the Phocaea family.
[11]: 23 In July 2010, a rotational lightcurve of Barbaradoore was obtained from photometric observation by Czech astronomer Petr Pravec at Ondřejov Observatory.
[a] According to the surveys carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Barbaradoore has a high albedo between 0.306 and 0.42 with a corresponding diameter of 3.88 to 5.02 kilometers,[6][7][9] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 5.66 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 13.6.
She is described by the discoverer as an admirer of sports and as an appreciated leader and volunteer, who has dedicated much of her time at Cathedral City's Boys and Girls Club in California.
