A Centaur? A plutino? SDO?
editNo one to my knowledge dares to classify it as plutino (short arc orbit observation). Well established orbit does not always help, however. Compare (119951) 2002 KX14 a well behaved “classical object” (DES classification) in .. 2:3 resonance. Eurocommuter (talk) 18:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- 2002 KX14 does have an approximate 2:3 resonance. It is in a nearly circler orbit (e=0.04) with a nearly zero inclination (i=0.4). 2002 KX14 does not appear as if it radically interacted with the orbit of Neptune, and thus its orbit is may not be fully controlled by Neptune (a requirement to be a plutino). A lot of plutinos have their more eccentric orbits maintained by Neptune. (2002 KX14 JPL orbit diagram) -- Kheider (talk) 19:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Now it's definitely not a plutino. See: http://www.boulder.swri.edu/~buie/kbo/astrom/07NC7.html . Observations at a second opposition give a=33.7+-0.5 au —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.200.248.54 (talk) 13:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
