232507

232507 is a numbered minor planet of the main asteroid belt. It was first observed on 10 March 2009 by the Lincoln Near‑Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) survey at the Lincoln Laboratory’s Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid’s provisional designation was 2009 SH1. Following a series of follow‑up observations, the orbit was calculated and the object received its permanent number in 2014.

The orbit of 232507 lies entirely within the main belt, with a semimajor axis of 2.73 AU, an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 6.4° relative to the ecliptic. Its orbital period is approximately 4.48 years, and it completes about 5.3 revolutions around the Sun each decade. The asteroid’s perihelion distance is 2.41 AU and its aphelion is 3.05 AU, placing it in the central portion of the belt between the inner and outer groups of asteroids.

Spectroscopic observations have classified 232507 as an S‑type asteroid, indicating a silicate‑rich composition common among the inner main‑belt asteroids. Photometric surveys estimate its diameter to be roughly 3.5 km, assuming a typical albedo of 0.15. Light‑curve data suggest a rotation period of about 4.8 hours with a modest amplitude, indicating a relatively spheroidal shape.

As of the most recent designation lists, 232507 has not been assigned a formal name and remains referred to only by its numeric designation. No significant perturbations or close approaches to major planets have been recorded, and the asteroid’s trajectory is considered stable within the established uncertainties of its orbital elements.
