The first precovery was taken at the Australian Siding Spring Observatory during the Digitized Sky Survey in 1984, extending the body's observation arc by 23 years prior to its discovery observation. It came to perihelion around 1888. Based on an absolute magnitude of 4.5 and assuming a generic albedo for trans-Neptunian objects of 0.09, it is about in diameter, which makes it likely a dwarf planet.
