Physical characteristics
The estimated combined size of is about . Johnston's Archive estimates a mean diameter of 251 km for the primary, and 205 km for the satellite based on a secondary-to-primary diameter ratio of 0.817. shows significant photometric variability with a lightcurve amplitude of 0.21 magnitudes, which indicates one of its components has an elongated shape.
