[5] Ebella orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 1.8–3.2 AU once every 4.04 years (1,474 days).
[5] According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Ebella measures 5.474 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.214, which is typical for stony S-type asteroids.
[3] Based on a generic magnitude-to-diameter conversion, it measures 6.0 kilometers in diameter using an absolute magnitude of 13.50 with an assumed albedo of 0.20.
The asteroid's rotation period, poles and shape still remain unknown.
[1][6] This minor planet was named after Carl Wilhelm Ludwig Martin Ebell (1871–1944) an astronomer from Neuruppin, Germany, who was on the editorial team of the renowned astronomical journal Astronomische Nachrichten.
