131635 (2001 XW71) is a mid-sized asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 XW71 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 XW71 orbits the sun every 4,480 days (12.27 years), coming as close as 4.97 AU and reaching as far as 5.68 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 XW71 is probably between 6.801 to 15.207 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 2001 XW71 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 5.74 hours.
2001 XW71's orbit is 3.97 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an extremely wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
2001 XW71's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 2, 2000. It was last officially observed on Nov. 11, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 554 observations used to determine its orbit.
