20936 Nemrut Dagi and 6 months (922 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 19° with respect to the ecliptic. Due to its perihelion of less than 1.668 AU, "Nemrut Dagi" is classified as a Mars-crosser by the Lightcurve Data Base, while in JPL's data base, which requires a perihelion of less than 1.666 AU, the asteroid is simply an inner main-belt asteroid. The asteroid's observation arc begins 18 years prior to its official discovery observation, with its identification at Palomar Observatory in February 1953. The survey designation "T-1" stands for the first Palomar–Leiden Trojan survey, named after
