Orbit thumb|left|The orbit of 2009 YE 7 compared to Pluto and Neptune Classification 2009 YE 7 is a classical Kuiper belt object: Its orbit is not controlled by an orbital resonance with Neptune, similar to 15760 Albion, but with a much greater orbital eccentricity and inclination. It completes one orbit around the Sun in just over 247 Earth years, at an average distance of about 44 AU. It came to perihelion around 1868, and to aphelion in 2015. It is currently about 50.7 AU from the Sun, and will again return to perihelion around 2163. Precovery 2009 YE 7 has been observed 70 times, with precovery images dating back to 2006, and has an orbital quality code of 4. Physical characteristics Absolute magnitude 175px|thumb|Different albedos correspond to different sizes The size of an object can be ascertained once its absolute magnitude (H) and its albedo (the proportion of light it reflects) are known. When 2009 YE 7 was first discovered, it was believed to have an absolute magnitude (H) of 2.8, which would have made it the first bright KBO found from the Southern Hemisphere.2009-12-27 JPL Small-Body Database Search Engine (H<=4) http://home.comcast.net/~kpheider/JPL-Small-Body-2009.gif 2009-12-27June 2017 InternetArchiveBot yes 2009 YE 7 has an absolute magnitude (H) of 4.5. Since 2009 YE 7 has an absolute magnitude dimmer than H=1, it will not be overseen by two naming committees and will not automatically be listed as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).http://www.iau.org/public_press/news/release/iau0804/ Plutoid chosen as name for Solar System objects like Pluto 28 December 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20110702012327/http://iau.org/public_press/news/detail/iau0804/ 2 July 2011 dead This value would have made it the eighth-intrinsically brightest known trans-Neptunian object, but it was later found to be much dimmer. It has an absolute magnitude (H) of 4.5, which would make it a good dwarf planet candidate when using an albedo of 0.09. It is probably much smaller than previously thought, and a highly reflective icy member of the Haumea family.Trujillo Chad Trujillo Sheppard Scott S. Sheppard Schaller amp A Photometric System for Detection of Water and Methane Ices on Kuiper Belt Objects The Astrophysical Journal 14 February 2011 730 2 105 1102.1971 2011ApJ...730..105T 10.1088/0004-637X/730/2/105 53942260 2009 YE 7 has been found to be a member of the Haumea family due to its Haumea-like orbit and the detection of water ice on its surface. This means 2009 YE 7 could have an albedo of up to 0.7, resulting in a small size close to 200 km mi. Its actual albedo is unknown; if it turns out to be lower, it will result in a larger size estimate.
