 Several photometric light-curve analysis rendered a rotation period of hours (best result) with a brightness variation of 0.18 in magnitude ().According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, the asteroid's surface has a notably low albedo of less than 0.03, while the "Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link" derived a somewhat higher value of 0.04.The minor planet was named in honor of the Fenno-Swedish astronomer Hugo Gyldén (1841–1896), who was a director of the Stockholm Observatory.
