Alemannia is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Alemannia as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Alemannia orbits the sun every 1,520 days (4.16 years), coming as close as 2.28 AU and reaching as far as 2.90 AU from the sun. Alemannia is about 40.3 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
The rotation of Alemannia has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 4.67 hours.
Alemannia's spectral type M (Tholen) / None (SMASSII) indicates that it is likely to contain iron, nickel, and cobalt.
Alemannia's orbit is 1.29 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.
Alemannia's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 17, 1905. It was last officially observed on May 15, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 4,470 observations used to determine its orbit.
