    It was discovered on 21 November 1992, by American astronomers Eleanor Helin and Kenneth Lawrence at Palomar Observatory in California, United States.[2] The asteroid was named for the Californian town of Camarillo.[13]

    Orbit and classification

    Camarillo orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.2–2.3 AU once every 2 years and 5 months (878 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.30 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

    It has an Earth minimum orbit intersection distance, MOID, of 0.2846 AU (42,600,000 km), which corresponds to 110.9 lunar distances.[1]

    A first precovery was taken at the Australian Siding Spring Observatory in 1974, extending the body's observation arc by 18 years prior to its official discovery observation at Palomar.[2]

    Physical characteristics

    The S-type asteroid has also been characterized as a Sr-subtype, a transitional group to the R-type asteroids.[11]

    Lightcurves

    Between 1995 and 2015, several rotational lightcurves of Camarillo gave a well-defined rotation period of 4.834 hours with a brightness amplitude between 0.4 and 0.85 magnitude.[8][9][10][14][lower-alpha 2]

    Diameter and albedo

    According to the surveys carried out by NASA's space-based Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Camarillo has an albedo between 0.21 and 0.25 with a corresponding diameter of 1.53 to 1.57 kilometers.[3][5][6][7]

    Naming

    This minor planet was named after for the Californian town of Camarillo and its Camarillo Observatory (670). The town was named after Adolfo Camarillo (1864–1958), a well known regional rancher. The first discoverer is a former town resident.[13] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 4 August 2001 (M.P.C. 43189).[15]
