[8] It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.2–3.3 AU once every 4 years and 7 months (1,670 days).
[7] Aigoual is an assumed carbonaceous C-type asteroid,[3] while the overall spectral type of the Xizang family has not yet been evaluated.
[8]: 23 In October 2010, a rotational lightcurve of Aigoual was obtained from photometric observations made by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California.
Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 4.3291 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.56 magnitude (U=2).
[3] This minor planet was named after Mont Aigoual, in the Cévennes National Park, where the discovering observatory is located.
