Hecuba (

mean-motion resonance with the planet Jupiter,[8] and is the namesake of the Hecuba group of asteroids.[9]

In the

asteroid taxonomy system lists it as an Sw asteroid.[11] Observations performed at the Palmer Divide Observatory in Colorado Springs, Colorado in during 2007 produced a light curve with a period of 17.859 ± 0.005 hours with a brightness variation of 0.11 ± 0.02 in magnitude.[12]

Hecuba orbits within the Hygiea family of asteroids but is not otherwise related to other family members because it has a silicate composition; Hygieas are dark C-type asteroids.[citation needed]
