2010 KZ39 is a trans-Neptunian object orbiting the Sun as a detached object in the outer reaches of the Solar System, estimated to be somewhere around 700 kilometres (400 miles) in diameter. The object was first observed on 21 May 2010 by astronomers Andrzej Udalski, Scott Sheppard, M. Szymanski and Chad Trujillo at the Las Campañas Observatory in Chile.[1][3]
Description
2010 KZ39 orbits the Sun at a distance of 42.5–47.5 AU once every 302 years, similar to Makemake, 19521 Chaos and other bodies that circle the Sun in 6:11 resonance to Neptune. Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.055 and an inclination of 26° with respect to the ecliptic.
Using the best-fit values for its orbit, it is expected to come to perihelion in 2109.[4] It has been observed 50 times over 12 years and has an uncertainty parameter of 4.[1] As of 2025, it is 45.677 AU from the Sun.[13] The body's spectral type as well as its rotation period remain unknown.
