ISEF awardee Lucas James Cavin.[1]
Orbit and classification
According to a
Duponta family, a core group inside the Florian region.[5]
Lucascavin orbits the Sun in the
semi-major axis of 2.28 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.11 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic.[2] The body's observation arc begins with its first observation as 1982 VD3 at Kiso Observatory in November 1982, more than 15 years prior to its official discovery observation.[1]

Between 2006 and 2016, several rotational
V–R color index of 0.474.[6]
Diameter and albedo
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an
albedo of 0.24 – derived from 8 Flora the namesake of the Flora clan – and calculates a diameter of 2.54 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 15.14.[4]
