262190

262190 is a minor planet in the Solar System. It was assigned the permanent number 262190 by the Minor Planet Center after its orbit was sufficiently well determined, making it one of the many numbered minor planets cataloged by the MPC. The numerical designation is used to identify the object in place of a name; not all minor planets receive a formal name.

Most numbered minor planets are located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and 262190 is generally treated as a main-belt object in official databases. The orbital elements—such as semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination—are tracked by the MPC and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Small-Body Database (SBDB). These data are periodically refined as new observations become available.

Physical characteristics, including diameter and albedo, are often uncertain without targeted observations. For many numbers, estimates rely on assumed albedos or infrared measurements; the exact size of 262190 would be listed in SBDB if available.

Name status: If a name has been proposed and approved by the International Astronomical Union, it would be included in official records; otherwise the object is widely referred to by its number. The entry 262190 serves as a cataloging reference within the broader population of minor planets, contributing to statistical studies of the asteroid belt.
