20581

20581 is an asteroid from the asteroid belt. It was discovered by the LINEAR survey at the Lincoln Laboratory's Near-Earth Asteroid Research facility on September 27, 1997. The asteroid is classified as a C-type asteroid, indicating a carbonaceous composition. Its orbital period is approximately 4.7 years, and it has a semi-major axis of about 2.8 astronomical units. The eccentricity of its orbit is moderate, meaning it does not deviate extremely from a circular path. Its inclination is relatively low, suggesting it orbits roughly within the plane of the solar system. Further research on 20581 aims to refine its orbital parameters and potentially determine its albedo and size. As with many asteroids of its type, its composition may offer clues about the early solar system.
