It was discovered on 26 July 2003 by Michael E. Brown, Chad Trujillo and David L. Rabinowitz at Palomar Mountain in California. Origin Haumea family Based on their common pattern of infrared water-ice absorption and the clustering of their orbital elements, the other KBOs (24835) 1995 SM 55, (19308) 1996 TO 66, (55636) 2002 TX 300 and (145453) 2005 RR 43, among others, appear to be collisional fragments broken off the dwarf planet Haumea. The neutral color of the spectrum of these objects in the visible range evidences a lack of complex organics on the surface of these bodies that has been studied in detail for the surface of Haumea.
