Photometric observations taken in 2018 provided a light curve showing a synodic rotation period of 6.916±0.001 h for the asteroid with an amplitude of 0.20±0.02 in magnitude. This result is mostly consistent with previous measurements.[3]
The spectrum of 289 Nenetta reveals the strong presence of the mineral olivine, a relative rarity in the asteroid belt.[4]
