153 Hilda is a large asteroid in the outer main belt, with a diameter of 170 km. It is the largest member of the Hilda family, a collisional family of asteroids in the Hilda region.

Orbit and family

Hilda gives its name to an asteroid group called the Hilda group (or Hildas for short). It is not a true asteroid family, since the members are not physically related, but rather share similar orbital elements. The Hildas are locked in a 2:3 orbital resonance with Jupiter;{{cite journal |doi-access=free

The orbital plane of 153 Hilda is inclined at an angle of 7.82° to the plane of the ecliptic. It has an orbital eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.13971. Multiple light curves of the asteroid provide a consistent rotation period of approximately
