(5836) 1993 MF is a highly eccentric, stony
Classification and orbit
The stony
Mars-crosser, and, on 28 November 2023, it will pass 0.02535 AU (3,792,000 km) from the Red Planet.[1] The first precovery was taken at the Australian Siding Spring Observatory in 1981, extending the body's observation arc by 12 years prior to its discovery.[2]
Physical characteristics
Since the 1990s, and up to June 2016, four well-defined rotational

Further lightcurves were obtained by Polish astronomer

Diameter
While in the 1990s, Stefano Mottola estimated the asteroid to measure 3.8 kilometers in diameter (H = 15.03),albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and derives a shorter diameter of 2.8 kilometers, based on an absolute magnitude of 15.14.[3]
