It was discovered on February 14, 1998, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project 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 4.3 years. It is classified as a main-belt asteroid, with a semi-major axis of 2.6 astronomical units (AU) and an eccentricity of 0.13. The asteroid's absolute magnitude is 14.3, which indicates its brightness. 45181 has a relatively low inclination of 3.5 degrees, suggesting it is part of the inner main belt. The asteroid's rotation period is approximately 5.2 hours.
