"Martes" has been characterized as a carbonaceous C-type asteroid by PanSTARRS photometric survey. "Martes" forms an asteroid pair with , and was part of the 35 sample asteroid pairs in Petr Pravec's study "Formation of asteroid pairs by rotational fission", published in the journal "Nature". Between 2008 and 2010, several rotational lightcurves of "Martes" were obtained from photometric observations. Lightcurve analysis gave a
