2648 Owa, provisional designation 1980 VJ, is a background asteroid from the Flora region of the inner asteroid belt, approximately 6 kilometers (4 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 8 November 1980, by American astronomer Edward Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station near Flagstaff, Arizona, in the United States.[1] The presumably S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 3.56 hours.[4] It was named for the word "rock" in the Native American Hopi language.[2]
