 In the Small Solar System Objects Spectroscopic Survey (S3OS2), the asteroid is a Caa-type in the survey's Tholen-like taxonomy, and a hydrated Ch-subtype in the SMASS-like taxonomy of the S3OS2.In December 2016, a rotational lightcurve of "Hooveria" was obtained from photometric observations by Anna Marciniak at the Poznań Observatory and other observers around the world during a survey, that collected spin and shape properties of long-period main-belt asteroids.Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of hours with a brightness variation of magnitude ().
