(23718) Horgos is an asteroid of the central main belt that was discovered on April 2, 1998 by the Hungarian amateur astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky and the Hungarian astronomer László Kiss at the Piszkéstető observatory ( IAU code 561) in the northern Hungarian Mátra Mountains on behalf of the Budapest Konkoly Observatory was discovered.
The mean diameter of the asteroid was roughly calculated to be 2.944 (± 0.821) km and the albedo to be 0.269 (± 0.166).
According to the SMASS classification ( Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ), a spectroscopic study by Gianluca Masi , Sergio Foglia and Richard P. Binzel at (23718) Horgos assumed a dark surface, so it could, roughly speaking, be around trade a C asteroid .
The asteroid was named on July 5, 2001 after the village of Horgoš , a place in the northern Banat . The reason for the naming is that László Kiss grew up there.
