219244

219244 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 17 October 1999, by astronomers of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is classified as a C-type, indicating it has a carbonaceous composition, which is common among asteroids in the outer belt.

The semi-major axis of 219244's orbit is 3.16 astronomical units (AU), with an orbital period of approximately 5.67 years. Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.14 and an inclination of 10.4 degrees relative to the ecliptic. The asteroid's rotation period is estimated to be around 5.4 hours.

219244 has not been observed to have any known moons or companions. Its spectral characteristics suggest it may have a primitive, undifferentiated composition, similar to other carbonaceous asteroids. The asteroid's orbit does not bring it close to Earth, and it is not considered a potentially hazardous object.

The designation 219244 refers to its sequential number in the Minor Planet Center's catalog of asteroids. As of the latest available data, no specific name has been assigned to this asteroid.
