Шаблон:Mp is a resonant and binary trans-Neptunian object, approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter, located in the outermost region of the Solar System. It was discovered on 27 March 2000, by astronomers John Kavelaars, Brett Gladman, Jean-Marc Petit and Matthew Holman at Mauna Kea Observatory on Hawaii. This distant object resides in an eccentric orbit and is locked in a 2:5 orbital resonance with Neptune. It is known to have a 111-kilometer sized companion, which was discovered in January 2007.

Orbit

Шаблон:Mp has an extremely eccentric orbit which crosses the paths of many other trans-Neptunian objects, including almost all of the dwarf planets and dwarf planet candidates. As a result, its position alternates between the Kuiper belt and the scattered disc.

Resonance with Neptune

Шаблон:Mp is part of a group of trans-Neptunian objects that orbit in a 2:5 resonance with Neptune. That means that for every five orbits that Neptune completes, Шаблон:Mp makes only two. Several other objects are in the same orbital resonance, the largest of which is Шаблон:Mpl.

Satellite

Like many objects of the Kuiper belt and scattered disc, Шаблон:Mp has a satellite. Provisionally designated S/2007 (60621) 1, the satellite was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope seven years after Шаблон:Mp itself was found. The moon orbits at 1180 kilometres away from Шаблон:Mp, completing one orbit in approximately 7 days. It is thought to be 115 km in diameter, just 75.7% the diameter of 2000 FE₈ itself.

Numbering

This minor planet was numbered by the Minor Planet Center on 14 June 2003. Шаблон:As of, it has not been named.
