24514

24514 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 14, 1998, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is approximately 3.5 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of about 4.1 years. Its orbit is relatively stable, with an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 1.7 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane. 24514 is classified as a main-belt asteroid, a group of asteroids that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid's spectral type is unknown, but it is likely to be a C-type asteroid, which are carbonaceous and typically found in the outer regions of the asteroid belt. The asteroid's name is derived from its provisional designation, 1998 TW11.
