Photometric observations of the minor planet in 2010 gave a rotation period of Script error: No such module "val". with an amplitude of Script error: No such module "val". in magnitude. This result is consistent with previous determinations.[3] An occultation by Athor was observed, on October 15, 2002, showing an estimated diameter of Script error: No such module "convert"..[4] The spectra is similar to that of carbonaceous chondrites, with characteristics of ferric oxides and little or no hydrated minerals.[5]
