13086

13086 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on September 24, 1992, by astronomers Carolyn S. Shoemaker and David H. Levy at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The asteroid is named after the year of its discovery, 1992, and the sequence number assigned to it by the Minor Planet Center, which is 13086.

13086 has an estimated diameter of about 10 kilometers and orbits the Sun with a semi-major axis of approximately 2.7 astronomical units (AU). Its orbital period is roughly 4.4 Earth years, and it has an eccentricity of 0.14, indicating a relatively circular orbit. The asteroid's rotation period is not well-determined, but it is believed to be around 5.5 hours.

The spectral classification of 13086 is S-type, which suggests that it is composed primarily of silicate materials. This classification is based on its reflectance spectrum, which is characteristic of stony asteroids. The surface of 13086 is likely covered in a mixture of silicates and metals, similar to other S-type asteroids.

13086 is not a particularly notable asteroid, but it is part of a larger population of asteroids in the asteroid belt. The study of minor planets like 13086 contributes to our understanding of the formation and evolution of the Solar System. As of now, no significant physical features or notable characteristics have been observed for 13086, making it a typical representative of its spectral class.
