Orbit and classification
Kenos is a member of the
albedo of 0.4, which is typical for E-type asteroids with a magnesium silicate surface (also see Enstatite chondrite
).
Physical characteristics
In the
PanSTARRS has characterized it as a CX-type, which transitions between the C-type and X-type asteroids.[9]
Observations performed at the Palmer Divide Observatory (
Naming
