142336

142336 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 2, 2003, by astronomers at the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. The asteroid is classified as a main-belt asteroid, which means it orbits the Sun at a distance that is typical for asteroids in the main belt.

The orbital period of 142336 is approximately 4.2 Earth years, and its semi-major axis is about 2.6 astronomical units (AU). The eccentricity of its orbit is relatively low, indicating a nearly circular path around the Sun. The asteroid's absolute magnitude is 15.5, which is a measure of its brightness and size. Based on this magnitude, it is estimated to have a diameter of around 2.5 kilometers.

142336 has a relatively slow rotation period of about 24 hours, which is typical for many asteroids. Its spectral type is unknown, but it is likely to be a C-type asteroid, which are common in the outer asteroid belt and are characterized by their dark, carbonaceous surfaces.

The asteroid's name is not yet officially assigned, and it is currently designated with its provisional designation (2003 TQ35). The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is responsible for naming asteroids, and the name must be approved by the IAU's Committee for Small Body Nomenclature. Once a name is approved, it is permanently assigned to the asteroid.
