(11436) 1969 QR

(11436) 1969 QR is a minor planet, specifically a numbered asteroid. The designation "(11436)" indicates that it is the 11,436th minor planet to be assigned a permanent number by the Minor Planet Center. The "1969 QR" portion is its provisional designation, assigned upon its discovery. This designation follows a system where "1969" represents the year of discovery, "Q" represents the half-month of discovery within that year (in this case, the second half of August), and "R" represents the sequential order of discovery within that half-month.

The numbering of minor planets occurs after their orbits are sufficiently well-determined to allow them to be reliably located in the future. Discovering and precisely tracking a minor planet over a sufficient period are necessary for it to receive a permanent number. Once numbered, the minor planet may also be given a name, though this is not always the case. (11436) 1969 QR may or may not have been subsequently named. Information about its physical characteristics, orbital parameters, and possible naming would typically be found in astronomical databases maintained by organizations like the Minor Planet Center and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
