753 Tiflis is aminor planet orbiting theSun. It was discovered 30 April 1913 by the Georgian–Russian astronomerGrigory N. Neujmin atSimeiz Observatory and was named afterGeorgia's capital cityTiflis (now called Tbilisi). The object is orbiting the Sun at a distance of2.33 AU with aperiod of 3.55 years and aneccentricity (ovalness) of 0.22. Theorbital plane is inclined by an angle of 10.1° to theplane of the ecliptic.[2] In 1991, Ruth F. Wolfe included it as a member of the proposed Tiflisasteroid family.[3]
This is classed as anS-type asteroid in theTholen taxonomy.[4] It spans a girth of approximately 23.6 km and rotates on its axis every 9.85 hours.[2]
