[2][3] Jovita is a non-family asteroid of the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.
[2] In the Tholen- and SMASS-like taxonomy of the Small Solar System Objects Spectroscopic Survey (S3OS2), Jovita is a hydrated, carbonaceous Caa and Ch-type asteroid, respectively.
Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 15.64±0.02 hours with a brightness variation of 0.12±0.02 magnitude, indicative of a rather spherical shape (U=3−).
[10][a] A lower rated period determination of 23.00±0.07 hours with an amplitude of 0.07±0.01 magnitude was made by French amateur astronomers René Roy and Laurent Bernasconi in September 2004 (U=2).
[7][8][9] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.0670 and a diameter of 58.95 km based on an absolute magnitude of 9.7.
