1273469

1273469 is a minor planet orbiting the Sun in the inner region of the asteroid belt. The object was first observed on 12 September 2004 by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) survey at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Its provisional designation was 2004 SG, and it was later numbered 1273469 by the Minor Planet Center after its orbit was sufficiently well determined.

The asteroid follows an orbit with a semi-major axis of about 2.37 astronomical units, an eccentricity of 0.15, and a period of roughly 3.64 years. Its orbit lies comfortably within the central main-belt, with perihelion and aphelion distances of 2.01 and 2.73 astronomical units respectively. The inclination of its orbit relative to the ecliptic is modest, at about 4.2 degrees.

Photometric observations of 1273469 have yielded a rotation period of approximately 8.2 hours, and its lightcurve amplitude suggests an elongated shape. Spectroscopic data indicate the asteroid has a C-type classification, implying a carbonaceous composition. Its estimated diameter, based on an assumed albedo of 0.06, is roughly 6.5 kilometers, although radar investigations have not yet been performed.

Because of its relatively typical main-belt orbit and modest size, 1273469 is not considered a threat to Earth. It also does not exhibit any significant non-gravitational perturbations such as the Yarkovsky effect. Consequently, it is a relatively unremarkable but well-characterized member of the vast population of main-belt asteroids.
