Brunonia is a core member of theKoronis family (605),[5][6] a very large outerasteroid family with nearly co-planar ecliptical orbits.[7][15] It orbits the Sun in theouter main-belt at a distance of 2.7–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 10 months (1,754 days;semi-major axis of 2.85 AU). Its orbit has aneccentricity of 0.06 and aninclination of 2° with respect to theecliptic.[4] The body'sobservation arc begins at Uccle in November 1948, one month after its official discovery observation.[1]
According to the surveys carried out by the JapaneseAkari satellite and theNEOWISE mission of NASA'sWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer,Brunonia measures between 10.8 and 12.7 kilometers in diameter and its surface has analbedo between 0.166 and 0.209.[8][9][10][11][13] TheCollaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.24 and a diameter of 10.8 kilometers based on anabsolute magnitude of 12.0.[7]
