[4] This asteroid is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 2.39 AU with a period of 3.69 years and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.25.
[2] 437 Rhodia was originally a proposed fly-by target of interest for the Rosetta mission.
[5] Analysis of the bimodal light curve generated using photometric data show a lengthy rotation period of 433.2 ± 0.5 hours (18.05 ± 0.02 days) with a brightness variation of 0.35±0.05 in magnitude.
[6] 437 Rhodia is classified as an E-type asteroid with a diameter of approximately 13 km.
