126655

126655 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on February 2, 1999, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is classified as a main-belt asteroid, with a semi-major axis of approximately 2.67 astronomical units (AU). Its orbital period is about 4.32 years, and it has an eccentricity of 0.13, indicating a relatively circular orbit.

The asteroid has a diameter of about 3.5 kilometers, based on its absolute magnitude of 15.5. Its rotation period is estimated to be around 5.6 hours. The spectral type of 126655 is not well-determined, but it is likely to be an S-type asteroid, which are composed of silicate materials and nickel-iron.

The asteroid's orbit does not bring it particularly close to Earth, with a minimum orbital intersection distance (MOID) of about 0.15 AU. However, its orbit is well-characterized, and there is no immediate risk of a collision with Earth.

126655 has not been named, and as of now, it remains an unnamed minor planet. The naming process for minor planets is typically carried out by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which may assign a name based on various criteria, such as the discoverer's suggestion or the asteroid's characteristics.
