32833

32833 is a minor planet located in the outer region of the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 24, 1990, by astronomers at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The object was given the provisional designation 1990 UO4 before being officially named and cataloged.

The asteroid belongs to the outer main-belt population, which orbits the Sun at a distance of approximately 3.2 astronomical units (AU). Its orbital period is roughly 5.8 years, and its orbit has a slight inclination relative to the ecliptic plane. Due to its relatively small size, 32833 is classified as a minor planet rather than a dwarf planet.

Little is known about its physical properties, but estimates suggest it has a diameter of around 3 to 5 kilometers. Its surface composition is likely similar to other carbonaceous chondrite asteroids, which are rich in organic compounds and silicates. Observations have not yet revealed any distinct features such as moons or unusual rotational characteristics.

32833 has not been formally named by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), meaning it remains designated by its provisional number. It is primarily studied for its orbital dynamics and as part of broader research into the structure and composition of the asteroid belt. Astronomers continue to monitor its trajectory to better understand its long-term stability and potential risks, though it poses no known threat to Earth.
