10121 Arzamas, provisional designation 1993 BS4, is a dark Themistian
Orbit and classification
Arzamas is a member of the Themis family, a dynamical family of outer main-belt asteroids with nearly co-planar ecliptical orbits. It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.7–3.7 AU once every 5 years and 9 months (2,095 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 1° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
