15102

15102 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt, discovered on September 24, 1997, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. It is part of the Flora family of asteroids, which are primarily composed of stony material. The asteroid has an estimated diameter of about 4.5 kilometers and orbits the Sun with a semi-major axis of approximately 2.2 astronomical units (AU). Its orbital period is roughly 3.3 years, and it has an eccentricity of about 0.15, indicating a relatively circular orbit. The asteroid's absolute magnitude is 13.5, which is a measure of its brightness. 15102 is classified as a main-belt asteroid, meaning it orbits between Mars and Jupiter without being perturbed by the gravitational influence of a planet. Its discovery and ongoing study contribute to our understanding of the asteroid belt and the formation of the solar system.
