(12325) Bogota is an asteroid of the inner main belt , which was discovered on September 2, 1992 by the Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at the La Silla Observatory of the European Southern Observatory in Chile ( IAU code 809). There had been several sightings of the asteroid before: on May 8, 1981 under the provisional designation 1981 JD 6 at the Palomar Observatory in California , on September 24, 1981 (1982 SE 3 ) at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in the Tautenburg Forest and on March 28, 1984 (1984 FJ 1 ) at the Oak Ridge Observatory of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Massachusetts .
The mean diameter of (12325) Bogota was calculated to be 3.1 to 3.6 km, the albedo of 0.336 (± 0.037) suggests a dark surface.
Mean solar distance ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid roughly resemble the orbital data of the members of the Flora family, a large group of asteroids named after (8) Flora . Asteroids of this family move in a 4: 9 orbital resonance with the planet Mars around the sun . The group is also called the Ariadne family, after the asteroid (43) Ariadne .
(12325) Bogota was named after the Colombian capital Bogotá on October 8, 2014 .
