63181

63181 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on September 24, 1990, by astronomers Eric Elst and Henri Debehogne at the European Southern Observatory in Chile. The asteroid is part of the Flora family, a group of asteroids that share similar orbital elements and spectral characteristics, suggesting a common origin.

The designation "63181" refers to the asteroid's sequential number in the Minor Planet Center's catalog. The name "63181" is temporary and does not reflect any specific characteristics or features of the asteroid. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has not yet assigned a permanent name to this asteroid.

63181 has an estimated diameter of approximately 5 kilometers, based on its absolute magnitude and assumed albedo. Its orbital period is about 3.5 years, and it follows an elliptical orbit with a semi-major axis of 2.3 astronomical units (AU). The asteroid's orbit has a moderate eccentricity and an inclination of about 5 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane.

The spectral classification of 63181 is S-type, indicating that its surface is composed primarily of silicate materials. This classification is based on the asteroid's reflectance spectrum, which is similar to that of ordinary chondrite meteorites. The S-type asteroids are the most common type in the inner asteroid belt and are believed to be fragments of differentiated parent bodies.

63181 is not a target for any specific space missions or studies at present. However, its classification and orbital characteristics make it an interesting object for further research into the composition and evolution of asteroids in the inner solar system.
