84443

84443 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 13 August 1998, by astronomers at the Lincoln Laboratory ETS in Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is part of the Eos family, a large group of asteroids that share similar orbital elements and are believed to have originated from a common parent body.

The Minor Planet Center, sponsored by the International Astronomical Union, has assigned the asteroid the provisional designation 1998 QS54. It has not been named or numbered by the IAU, which typically reserves these designations for asteroids that have been observed multiple times and have well-determined orbits.

84443 has an orbital period of approximately 4.6 years and an eccentricity of 0.12. Its orbit is inclined at an angle of about 10.5 degrees to the ecliptic. 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 asteroid's physical characteristics are not well-known, but it is estimated to be about 10 kilometers in diameter based on its absolute magnitude. Its rotation period is also unknown, but it is likely to be in the range of a few hours to a few days, which is typical for asteroids of this size.

84443 is not a near-Earth object and poses no threat to Earth. It is simply one of the many millions of asteroids that orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt. Its discovery and study contribute to our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solar system.
