4400002

4400002 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 13, 1999, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) team at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is approximately 3.5 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of about 4.6 Earth years. Its semi-major axis is 2.77 astronomical units (AU), and its eccentricity is 0.17. The orbital inclination of 4400002 is 11.3 degrees with respect to the ecliptic. The asteroid's spectral type is unknown, but it is likely a C-type asteroid, which are carbonaceous and typically found in the outer asteroid belt. The rotation period of 4400002 is approximately 5.6 hours. The asteroid's absolute magnitude is 14.5, which indicates its brightness. The asteroid has not been observed to have any moons or companions. Its orbit does not bring it close to Earth, and it is not considered a potentially hazardous object. The designation 4400002 is part of the Minor Planet Center's system for naming asteroids, which assigns a sequential number to each newly discovered asteroid.
