[12] In November 2010, a rotational lightcurve of Alekfursenko was obtained from photometric observations made by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California.
Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 3.6277 hours with a brightness variation of 0.42 magnitude (U=2).
It gave a concurring sidereal period of 3.627672 hours, as well as a spin axis at (−1.0°, 54.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).
[9] According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's space-based WISE spacecraft, Alekfursenko measures 8.4 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.08,[6] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 8.0 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 14.22.
