California Institute of Technology Brown Michael E. 2013 http://web.gps.caltech.edu/~mbrown/dps.html 29 June 2023 0.08 (est.)0.09 (est.) 6.56.8 (523727) 2014 NW 65 is a large centaur from the outer Solar System, approximately 220 km mi off 2 us in diameter. It was discovered on 14 July 2010 by astronomers with the Pan-STARRS-1 survey at Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii, in the United States. The minor planet was numbered in 2018 and has not been named. Orbit and classification 2014 NW 65 is a member of the centaurs, an inward-moving population of bodies transiting from the Kuiper belt to the group of Jupiter-family comets. Their eccentric orbits are often in between those of Jupiter and Neptune, that is, they have a semi-major axis of typically 5.5 to 30.1 AU. Centaurs are cometary-like bodies. They have a short dynamical lifetime due to the perturbing forces exerted on them by the Solar System's outer planets. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 11.2–35.4 AU once every 112 years and 4 months (41,044 days; semi-major axis of 23.29 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.52 and an inclination of 20° with respect to the ecliptic. It has 3 precovery observations back to 2009. Numbering and naming This minor planet was numbered by the Minor Planet Center on 25 September 2018, receiving the number 523727 523727 in the minor planet catalog (M.P.C. 111779). 2025, it has not been named. According to the established naming conventions, it will be named after one of the many centaurs from Greek mythology, which are creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse. Physical characteristics Diameter and albedo 2014 NW 65 has an absolute magnitude of 6.5. According to Johnston's Archive and astronomer Michael Brown, it measures 212 and 213 kilometers in diameter, based on an assumed albedo for the body's surface of 0.09 and 0.08, respectively. It is one of the largest centaurs, comparable in size with 2060 Chiron, 10199 Chariklo, and 54598 Bienor. 2021, no physical characteristics have been determined from photometric observations. The body's color, rotation period, pole and shape remain unknown. See also List of centaurs (small Solar System bodies) 523727 References 30em 2018-08-10 last obs.
