It makes eight approaches to Earth less than 30 Gm in the 20th and 21st centuries. The last close approach was in August 2006 at 19.2 Gm. The next is in August 2011 at 22.9 Gm. Interestingly, 3103 Eger is the only asteroid besides 4 Vesta identified as the parent body for specific meteorites. 4 Vesta is the parent body for Howardite, Eucrite, and Diogenite meteorites, while 3103 Eger is the parent body for Aubrite meteorites. In this characteristic 3103 Eger is related spectroscopically to the 434 Hungaria type asteroids, which are a Hirayama-family of orbital types, and E-type asteroids which form a spectroscopical type.
