566), extending the asteroid's observation arc by 32 days prior to its official discovery observation.[8]
Physical characteristics
Diameter and albedo
According to the
albedo of 0.28,[4] while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.21 – derived from 15 Eunomia, the family's largest member and namesake – and calculates a diameter of 3.8 kilometers.[3]
