It was discovered by American astronomer Timothy Spahr at the U.S. Catalina Station in Tucson, Arizona, on 14 April 1993.
[7] Ogilsbie orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.4–3.9 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,043 days).
[1] The first used precovery was obtained at Palomar Observatory in 1990, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 3 years prior to its discovery.
[7] In 2010, a photometric lightcurve analysis by Italian astronomer Andrea Ferrero at the Bigmuskie Observatory (B88) in Mombercelli, Italy, rendered a well-defined rotation period of 3.92±0.01 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.40 in magnitude (U=3).
[6] According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's space-based Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Ogilsbie has a diameter of 18.5 and 19.0 kilometer based on an albedo of 0.15 and 0.18, respectively,[5][4] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and hence calculates a larger diameter of 27.9 kilometers.
