537 Pauly is a minor planet and a main belt asteroid orbiting the Sun.[2] It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 7 July 1904 in Nice.[1][2]
Discovery
Pauly was discovered on 7 July 1904 by Charlois A. at Nice.[1]
Observations
The observation arc of Pauly began on 24 February 1902 and was last observed on 11 April 2026.[1] Giving it a long observation arc of 124 years.[1] In these 124 years, Pauly has been observed 7160 times.[1]
Orbit
Pauly is a main belt asteroid[2] that orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.34–3.79 astronomical units (AU) with a semi-major axis or average orbital distance of 3.065 AU once every 5.37 years[1] (for reference, Ceres's orbit is at 2.77 AU).[3]
Pauly's orbit has a relatively high eccentricity of 0.236 and an inclination of 9.92° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]
Physical characteristics
Pauly has a diameter of approximately 40.732±0.845 km,[1] its albedo is 0.322±0.030.[1] Pauly rotates on its axis once every 16.168 hours.[1]
