Roe’s orbit is characterized by a semi-major axis of 2.56 Astronomical Units, an eccentricity of 0.09, a period of revolution of 1’501 days, and an inclination of 15.8 degrees. Roe was discovered during the course of the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) at the Anderson Mesa Station of the Lowell Observatory.

Roe is named after Henry G. Roe. Not much is publicly known about him. He was born in 1975 and is an assistant astronomer at the Lowell Observatory. His research interests include the weather on Titan and methane in the outer Solar System. He is a co-discoverer of the cubewano Salacia.

With so few pieces of information, an astrological interpretation can only be derived from Roe’s name. Because this name is an English word, so things are easy. Roe represents roes, the European smaller relatives of deers.
