733410

733410 is the designated number for a minor planet located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid received its official number following the confirmation of its orbit, a status that indicates it has been observed at multiple oppositions and its orbital parameters are well established. At the time of its numbering, the asteroid had not yet been assigned a formal name, so its designation remains in the numerical format.

The Minor Planet Center records its discovery by the Pan‑STARRS survey at the Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii. On 2022 September 12 the survey detected the object on two nights, allowing its preliminary orbit to be calculated. Its provisional designation before numbering was 2022 QB5. Subsequent follow‑up observations confirmed a stable, heliocentric orbit with a semi‑major axis of approximately 2.6 astronomical units, an orbital period of about 4.2 years, an eccentricity near 0.12, and an inclination of roughly 4°. These orbital characteristics classify 733410 as an interior main‑belt asteroid, lying towards the inner zone of the belt.

No spectral data or composition analysis has been published for 733410, though many asteroids in its orbital region are typically stony S‑type or carbonaceous C‑type. As of the latest observations, 733410 has not shown any unusual photometric variability or features that would warrant special scientific interest beyond its basic orbital traits.

Because the asteroid has not yet been named, 733410 remains a reference purely for cataloguing and future research. Its number indicates its place among hundreds of thousands of catalogued minor planets and provides a baseline for any future studies that may investigate its physical properties or dynamical interactions within the asteroid belt.
