104481

104481 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on March 19, 2000, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) team at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is approximately 1.5 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of about 3.3 years. Its orbit is relatively stable, with an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 1.5 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane. The asteroid's spectral type is classified as S-type, indicating that it has a stony composition. 104481 has not been observed to have any moons or to be part of any known asteroid family. The asteroid's absolute magnitude is 16.1, which is a measure of its brightness and size. The asteroid's name is not yet officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and it has not been assigned a permanent designation. The asteroid's discovery and subsequent observations have contributed to our understanding of the asteroid belt and the dynamics of the solar system.
