(9992) 1997 TG19 is an unnamed, stony asteroid, classified as an eccentric Mars-crosser, that measures between 3 and 4 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 8 October 1997, by Japanese astronomers Tetsuo Kagawa and Takeshi Urata at Gekko Observatory near Shizuoka, Japan.[7]
The stony S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.5–2.8 AU once every 3 years and 2 months (1,169 days). Its orbit shows a typically high eccentricity of 0.29 and an inclination of 3 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic.[1]
Between 2006 and 2013, three photometric light-curve analysis at the Hunters Hill Observatory, Australia, the Ondřejov Observatory, Czech Republic, and the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory, California, rendered a well-defined, concurring rotation period of 5.7402±0.0005 hours (best result) with a brightness amplitude of 0.42, 0.40 and 0.27 in magnitude, respectively.[lower-alpha 1][4][5]
According to the survey carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite, the asteroid's surface has an albedo of 0.13, which is untypically low for stony asteroids, and determines a diameter of 4.75 kilometers.[3] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a higher albedo of 0.20 and calculates a corresponding diameter of 3.1 kilometers, as the higher the body's reflectivity (albedo), the shorter its diameter, for a given absolute brightness (magnitude).[3]
