26441

26441 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on February 14, 1990, by astronomers Eleanor Helin and Kenneth Lawrence at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The asteroid is classified as a main-belt asteroid, with a semi-major axis of approximately 3.1 astronomical units (AU). Its orbital period is about 5.5 Earth years, and it has an eccentricity of 0.16, indicating a relatively circular orbit.

The size of 26441 is estimated to be around 10 kilometers in diameter. Its spectral type is X-type, which suggests it has a primitive composition, possibly containing carbonaceous materials. The asteroid's rotation period is approximately 10.5 hours, and it has a low albedo, indicating a dark surface.

26441 is not a named asteroid; it is designated by its number in the Minor Planet Center's catalog. Its discovery was part of the Palomar-Leiden survey, a collaborative effort between the Palomar Observatory and Leiden Observatory to discover and track asteroids. The asteroid's orbit is well-determined, and it poses no threat to Earth.
