is a common stony S-type asteroid. It is also an S-type in the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy and in the Tholen-like taxonomy of the Small Solar System Objects Spectroscopic Survey (S3OS2). Only in the SMASS-like taxonomy of the S3OS2, Algunde is an Sl-subtype asteroid that transitions between the S-type and the uncommon L-type. Rotation period In March 2007, a rotational lightcurve of Algunde was obtained from photometric observations by Slovak astronomers Adrián Galád and Leonard Kornoš at Modra Observatory . Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of hours with a low brightness amplitude of magnitude, indicative of a spherical rather than elongated shape (). Between 2008 and 2018, numerous follow-up observations by other astronomers confirmed the period of 3.31 hours with brightness variation maxima between 0.11 and 0.17. Diameter and albedo According to the survey carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), Algunde measures () and () kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of () and (), respectively. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link takes Petr Pravec's revised WISE data with an albedo of 0.2055 and a diameter of 12.45 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.86. Another publication by the WISE team gives a mean-diameter of () kilometers and an albedo of ().
