Orbit and classification
Miguelreyes is a non-
background population. It orbits the Sun in the central asteroid belt at a distance of 2.5–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 7 months (1,679 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.09 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
The asteroid's observation arc begins almost 4 years prior to its official discovery observation, with a precovery taken by the Steward Observatory's Spacewatch survey at Kitt Peakt in April 1996.[2]
