28017 (1997 YV13) is a mid-sized asteroid with an orbit that crosses the orbit of Mars. NASA JPL has not classified 1997 YV13 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1997 YV13 orbits the sun every 1,530 days (4.19 years), coming as close as 1.59 AU and reaching as far as 3.61 AU from the sun. 1997 YV13 is about 6.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1997 YV13 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 47.00 hours.
1997 YV13's orbit is 0.60 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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.
1997 YV13's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 11, 1955. It was last officially observed on May 15, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,322 observations used to determine its orbit.
