Шаблон:Mp is a trans-Neptunian object, both considered a scattered and detached object, located in the outermost region of the Solar System. The object with a moderately inclined and eccentric orbit measures approximately Шаблон:Convert in diameter. It was first observed on 24 May 2015, by astronomers at the Mauna Kea Observatories in Hawaii, United States.

Orbit and classification

Файл:Extreme transneptunian object eccentricity vs perihelion.png
Шаблон:Mp is located near the "gap", a poorly understood region.

Шаблон:Mp orbits the Sun at a distance of 49.3–61.5 AU once every 412 years and 4 months (150,600 days; semi-major axis of 55.4 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.11 and an inclination of 24° with respect to the ecliptic.[1]

The object belongs to the same group as Шаблон:Mpl ("Buffy"), Шаблон:Mpl, Шаблон:Mpl and Шаблон:Mpl (also see diagram). With an orbital period of 412 years, it seems to be a resonant trans-Neptunian objects in a 2:5 resonance with Neptune,[2]Шаблон:Rp as several other objects,[3] but with a lower eccentricity (0.11 instead of more than 0.60) and higher perihelia (at 49.3 AU rather than 31–41 AU).

Considered both a scattered and detached object,[4][5][3] Шаблон:Mp is particularly unusual as it has an unusually circular orbit for a scattered-disc object (SDO). Although it is thought that traditional scattered-disc objects have been ejected into their current orbits by gravitational interactions with Neptune, the low eccentricity of its orbit and the distance of its perihelion (SDOs generally have highly eccentric orbits and perihelia less than 38 AU) seems hard to reconcile with such celestial mechanics. This has led to some uncertainty as to the current theoretical understanding of the outer Solar System. The theories include close stellar passages, unseen planet/rogue planets/planetary embryos in the early Kuiper belt, and resonance interaction with an outward-migrating Neptune. The Kozai mechanism is capable of transferring orbital eccentricity to a higher inclination.[6][2] It is in a 5:2 resonance to Neptune. It seems to belong to the same group as Шаблон:Mpl, nicknamed "Buffy".

Physical characteristics

Johnston's archive estimates a diameter of 154 kilometers based on an assumed albedo of 0.09.[3] This is approximately a quarter the size of "Buffy" which is estimated at around Шаблон:Convert, roughly a quarter the size of Pluto.
