285 Regina is a typical, although fairly large, Main belt asteroid.[2] It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 3 August 1889 in Nice, France. The asteroid is a suspected interloper in the Eucharis asteroid family.[3]
Analysis of the asteroid light curve generated from photometric data collected during 2008 show a rotation period of 9.542±0.001 h with a brightness variation of 0.16±0.03 in magnitude.[4]
