1092 Lilium, provisional designation 1924 PN, is a dark, carbonaceous background
Heidelberg Observatory in southwest Germany.[16] The asteroid was named after the flower Lilium (true lily).[3]
Orbit and classification
Lilium is a non-
background population.[5] It orbits the Sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.7–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 11 months (1,804 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
The body's observation arc begins with a precovery image taken at the Lowell Observatory in July 1906, almost 18 years prior to its official discovery observation at Heidelberg.[16]
Physical characteristics
Lilium is an assumed carbonaceous C-type asteroid.[4]
