19792

19792 is a minor planet located in the outer reaches of the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered in 2000 by a team of astronomers using the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. The asteroid is classified as a carbonaceous C-type asteroid, which means its surface composition is thought to be rich in carbon-based materials.

Asteroid 19792 has a semi-major axis of approximately 2.97 astronomical units (AU), which is slightly beyond the orbit of Jupiter. Its perihelion, or closest point to the Sun, is about 2.62 AU, and its aphelion, or farthest point, is approximately 3.32 AU. The asteroid's orbital period is about 5.1 years, meaning it takes this amount of time to complete one full orbit around the Sun.

As a C-type asteroid, 19792 is thought to be a primitive body, composed of the building blocks of the solar system. Its surface is likely to be dark and carbon-rich, with a low albedo, or reflectivity. The asteroid's size is not precisely known, but it is estimated to be around 4-6 kilometers in diameter.

Asteroid 19792 is of interest to astronomers due to its composition and orbital characteristics. Further study of this object may provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of the solar system, as well as the properties of primitive bodies in the asteroid belt.
