15927

15927 is a minor planet located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on September 24, 1998, by astronomers at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is named after the year of its discovery, 1998, which is represented as 15927.

The asteroid has an estimated diameter of about 3.5 kilometers, based on its absolute magnitude of 14.5. Its orbit around the Sun takes approximately 3.6 Earth years, with an average distance of about 2.4 astronomical units. The eccentricity of its orbit is 0.16, indicating a relatively moderate deviation from a perfect circle.

15927 is classified as a main-belt asteroid, which means it orbits the Sun in the same region as most other asteroids. It is not part of any known asteroid family, which suggests it may have originated from a different region of the asteroid belt or may have undergone significant changes over time.

The asteroid's rotation period is approximately 5.2 hours, which is relatively fast for a main-belt asteroid. This rapid rotation may be due to the asteroid's small size or its history of collisions with other objects in the asteroid belt.

15927 has not been the subject of any significant scientific studies or missions, and its physical properties and composition remain largely unknown. However, its discovery and classification as a main-belt asteroid contribute to our understanding of the overall structure and composition of the asteroid belt.
