419 Aurelia is amain-beltasteroid that was discovered by German astronomerMax Wolf on September 7, 1896, inHeidelberg. It is classified as anF-type asteroid.
Photometric observations of this asteroid made during 2008 at the Organ Mesa Observatory inLas Cruces, New Mexico gave a "somewhat irregular"light curve with a period of 16.784 ± 0.001 hours and a brightness variation of 0.07 ± 0.01 inmagnitude. When allowing for varying aspect angles and changes in mean motion, this result is consistent with past studies.[5]
