[1] The presumed S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 5.9 hours and measures approximately 13 kilometers (8 miles) in diameter.

[3] Adele was discovered by Russian astronomer Sergey Belyavsky at the Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula 8 September 1915.

[1] This minor planet was likely named after "Adele", Rosalinde's maid, a character in the operetta Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss (1825–1899).

[10] In October 2002, a rotational lightcurve of Adele was obtained from photometric observations by French amateur astronomer René Roy.

Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 5.8587±0.0002 hours with a high brightness variation of 0.69±0.02 magnitude, indicative of an elongated shape (U=3).
