1751 Herget

1751 Herget, provisional designation 1955 OC, is a stony asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt. It was discovered by the Indiana Asteroid Program at the U.S. Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana on 27 July 1955.

The S-type asteroid is a member of the Gefion family. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.3–3.3 AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,701 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.18 and is tilted by 8 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. Little is known about the asteroids size, albedo and rotation, despite having a well-observed orbit with the lowest possible uncertainty (i.e. a condition code of 0) and an observation arc that spans over a period of more than 60 years.
