is an extreme trans-Neptunian object and extended scattered disc object from the outermost region of the Solar System, approximately in diameter.
Description
was first observed as on 8 October 2010, by American astronomer Megan Schwamb at ESO's La Silla Observatory in northern Chile. It has also been observed as during the Calar Alto TNO Survey () at the Calar Alto Observatory, Spain, on 20 September 2015.
It orbits the Sun at a distance of 33.2–290.1 AU once every 2054 years and 9 months (semi-major axis of 161 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.79 and an inclination of 23° with respect to the ecliptic.
Extended scattered disc
It is one of a small number of detached objects with perihelion distances of 30 AU or more, and semi-major axes of 150 AU or more. Such objects can not reach such orbits without some perturbing object, which leads to the speculation of Planet Nine.
Physical characteristics
Based on an absolute magnitude of 6.5 and an assumed albedo of 0.09, Johnston's Archive calculated a mean-diameter of 222 kilometers. Michael Brown estimates an albedo of 0.08 with a diameter of 221 kilometers using an absolute magnitude of 6.7.
