1092242

1092242 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on 24 September 2001, by astronomers at the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. The asteroid is classified as a non-family asteroid, meaning it does not belong to any known asteroid family. Its orbit is relatively stable, with an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 5.8 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane. The asteroid has an absolute magnitude of 16.1, which corresponds to a diameter of approximately 1.8 kilometers, assuming an albedo of 0.20. Due to its size and composition, 1092242 is likely a C-type asteroid, composed primarily of carbonaceous material. The asteroid's rotation period is not yet determined, but it is expected to be in the range of a few hours to a few days. Further observations and studies are needed to better understand the physical properties and orbital dynamics of 1092242.
