It was discovered by the Indiana Asteroid Program at the U.S. Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana, on 25 July 1952.The C-type asteroid is a member of the Themis family, a large group of carbonaceous outer main-belt asteroids. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.6–3.6 AU once every five and a half years (2,010 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.16 and is nearly coplanar with the plane of the ecliptic, inclined by only 1 degree. It has a rotation period of 11 to 12 hours. Based on observations by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, its albedo amounts to 0.07.The minor planet was named for American astronomer Carl C. Kiess (1887–1967), a graduate of Indiana University, who made distinguished contributions both in astronomy and spectroscopy at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards where he worked for over 40 years. He was a member of several eclipse expeditions. The lunar crater Kiess was also named in his honour."@en }
