173058

173058 is the numerical designation of a minor planet in the Solar System. It is one of many thousands of asteroids assigned a number by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) after sufficient observations have established a reliable orbit. The number does not imply a name; many such bodies remain unnamed and are referred to by their numbers.

Discovery and naming: The MPC records discovery circumstances, including the date, discovering observatory or program, and the discoverers. When or if a name is later assigned, the object is commonly referred to by that name in addition to its number.

Orbit and classification: The exact orbital elements of 173058 are cataloged in the MPC and JPL Small-Body Database. Objects with such designations generally reside in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, though precise classification (such as membership in a family) depends on orbital parameters, including semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination.

Physical characteristics: Information such as diameter, albedo, spectral type, and rotation period are determined from observations and may be published by various surveys. If available for 173058, these details would be listed in public databases.
