Klymene (

plane of the ecliptic. It is classified as a C-type asteroid, indicating it probably has a carbonaceous composition. The spectra indicates the presence of aqueous-altered minerals on the surface[7] based upon a sharp feature at a wavelength of 3 μm, and, as of 2015, is the only member of the Themis family found to show this absorption.[8]

Based upon measurements made using

mean-motion resonance with Jupiter.[10]

104 Klymene has been observed to occult 6 stars between 2009 and 2023.
