[10] Photometric studies give a rotation period of 15.797 hours and an amplitude of 0.11±0.01 in magnitude.

Previous studies that suggested the rotation period may be twice this amount were rejected based upon further observation.

[12] In 1862, Swedish astronomer Nils Christoffer Dunér gave a doctoral thesis on the orbital elements of this asteroid.

[13] The orbit of 70 Panopaea places it in a mean motion resonance with the planets Jupiter and Saturn.

[14] The asteroid frequently makes close approaches with 16 Psyche, such as on 12 June 2040 when it will make a close approach of 0.00602 AU (2.34 Lunar distances, or approx.
