224009

224009 is the numbered designation of a minor planet in the Solar System. It is cataloged by the Minor Planet Center and is known by its provisional designation assigned at discovery. The object is classified as a main-belt asteroid, indicating it orbits the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Discovery and naming: The discovery details are recorded by the MPC, including the discovery date, observatory, and survey or individual discoverers. Like most numbered minor planets, 224009 has not received a formal name and is referred to by its numerical designation.

Orbit and dynamics: 224009 follows a stable orbit within the main asteroid belt. Its orbital elements have been refined through repeated astrometric observations, and it exhibits a relatively modest inclination relative to the ecliptic.

Physical characteristics: Specific physical measurements for 224009 are not widely published. As with many small belt objects, diameter estimates depend on assumed albedo; potential sizes generally range from a few to several tens of kilometers.

Observational status: Ongoing observations aim to improve the accuracy of its orbital solution and, where possible, constrain its surface properties. It remains a cataloged minor planet contributing to population statistics of the main belt.
