It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.3–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 3 months (1,546 days).
[9] In March 2014, a rotational lightcurve was obtained from photometric observations at the U.S. Burleith Observatory in Washington D.C..
It gave a well-defined rotation period of 11.1 hours with a brightness variation of 0.25 magnitude (U=3-)[7] A previous fragmentary lightcurve obtained by French amateur astronomer Laurent Bernasconi in May 2006, gave a much shorter period of 6.6 hours with an amplitude of 0.06 (U=1).
[4][5] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.09 and a diameter of 16.7 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.1[3] This minor planet was named in honor of Yevgeniya Taratuta, Soviet writer and literary scholar.
