(613490) 2006 RJ103

(613490) 2006 RJ103 is a minor planet, also known as an asteroid. It was discovered on September 11, 2006, by the Spacewatch survey at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. As a minor planet, it orbits the Sun, but is neither a planet nor a classical comet.

The numerical designation "(613490)" indicates its sequential discovery number in the catalog of minor planets maintained by the Minor Planet Center (MPC). The "2006 RJ103" part of the name represents its provisional designation, which is assigned at the time of discovery. The "2006" indicates the year of discovery, "R" denotes the half-month of September (A-Y excluding I), and "J103" signifies the sequence within that half-month.

Observations and calculations of its orbit allow astronomers to determine its orbital parameters, such as its semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination, and orbital period. These parameters help classify the asteroid and understand its place within the Solar System. Due to its relatively high number, considerable work went into finding and tracking it so as to determine a good orbit. Further observations and analysis may lead to a better understanding of its physical properties, such as its size, shape, and composition.
