225260

225260 is the numerical designation of a minor planet in the solar system. It is the 225,260th object to be numbered by the Minor Planet Center, indicating that its orbit has been sufficiently well determined. The object has not been given a formal name and is referred to by its number.

Before it received a permanent number, it would have been given a provisional designation that encodes the year of discovery and sequence of discovery, as tracked by the Minor Planet Center. The discovery circumstances, including the observatory or survey that first reported the object, are recorded in MPC archives.

As a numbered minor planet, 225260 has a measured set of orbital elements: semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination, among others. Without access to the MPC database, exact values are not stated here; however, objects of this class commonly reside in the main asteroid belt, with semi-major axes typically between about 2.0 and 3.5 astronomical units, moderate eccentricities, and a range of inclinations. Size estimates depend on the object’s albedo and infrared observations; without specific data, the diameter is uncertain, but many such objects range from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers.

If later named, the IAU would approve the name, and references would be updated in catalogues. The MPC and the JPL Small-Body Database provide current orbital and physical data for 225260.
