332608

332608 is a minor planet that orbits the Sun within the main asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid was discovered on 29 March 2006 by the Mount Lemmon Survey, a program operating the 0.5 m telescope at Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona. Its provisional designation was 2006 DX29. After its orbit was well-determined, the Minor Planet Center assigned it the permanent numbering of 332608.

The orbital elements of 332608 are typical of the outer main‐belt population. Its semimajor axis is approximately 2.77 AU, positioning it in the middle to outer part of the belt. The orbital period is about 4.36 years. The orbit has a relatively low eccentricity of 0.06, and its inclination with respect to the ecliptic is modest, around 1.1°. These parameters place the asteroid in a low‐inclination, low‐eccentricity family, suggesting that it may belong to one of the several known asteroid families or could be a non‑family background object.

Physical data on 332608 are sparse, as is common for many main‑belt asteroids of this size. The semi‑major axis and low inclination suggest a composition that could be a carbonaceous C‑type, although spectral observations would be required for confirmation. Estimates based on an assumed albedo of 0.09, derived from similar objects in the region, give a diameter of roughly 5 km.

Although 332608 has not been the focus of extensive study, it is catalogued in major astronomical databases such as the JPL Small‑Body Database and the Minor Planet Center. The lack of a formal name (it is referred to only by its number) is typical for asteroids whose discovery circumstances have been well documented but for which a name has not yet been proposed.
