211 Isolda is a very large, darkmain-beltasteroid. It is classified as aC-type asteroid and is probably composed of primitivecarbonaceous material. The spectra of the asteroid displays evidence of aqueous alteration.[6]
In 2001, the asteroid was detected by radar from theArecibo Observatory at a distance of 1.78 AU. The resulting data yielded an effective diameter of143 ± 16 km.[8]
Between 2009 and 2022, 211 Isolda has been observed tooccult seven stars.[citation needed]
