Asteroids 1093 Freda and 1390 Abastumani display spectral characteristics intermediate between C and dark X types, possibly due to cronstedtite on their surfaces.
Simulations tie the deep-mantle primordial neon reservoir to an initial embryo mass of ~0.3 Earth masses assembled during solar-nebula dispersal.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 19.46-minute rotation period, Sq or K taxonomy, and absolute magnitude H_V of 24.14 with a shallow phase curve slope of G=0.51.
