41599

41599 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on 24 September 1999 by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research team at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is approximately 3 kilometers in diameter and has a rotation period of about 10.5 hours. Its orbit is relatively stable, with an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 11.5 degrees relative to the ecliptic. 41599 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 discovery and study of 41599 contribute to our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solar system.
