[2][8] Rutllant is a member of the Flora family, one of the largest groups of stony asteroids in the main-belt.
It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 6 months (1,281 days).
[3] A rotational lightcurve was obtained by American astronomer Brian Warner at his Palmer Divide Observatory (716), Colorado, in October 2010.
The lightcurve gave a well-defined period of 3.651 hours with a relatively low brightness variation of 0.12 in magnitude (U=3).
[3] This minor planet was named in memory of Spanish-born astronomer Federico Alcina (1904–1971), director of the Chilean National Astronomical Observatory (OAN), and professor of mathematics at Federico Santa María Technical University.
