These objects are commonly referred to as "Plutino" (barycentric)barycentric These orbital elements are expressed in terms of the Solar System Barycenter (SSB) as the frame of reference. Due to planetary perturbations, the Sun revolves around the SSB at non-negligible distances, so heliocentric-frame orbital elements and distances (such as those given in JPL's Small-Body Database) can vary on short timescales. 27 April 2019 (JD 2458600.5) 47.976 AU Tm on on 30.246 AU Tm on 39.111 AU Tm on 0.22666 244.60 yr (89,340.7 d) 12.04938° 135.922° 113.43° 145.06° 0 650 1 175 km (upper limit)472 122 25 km (lower limit) 2.29–3.00 > [2003 UZ 413's density] >0.72 g/cm32.64 g/cm3assuming HE and thus a dwarf planet 4.13 0.05 h4.13 h 0.151 0.025 0.064 (upper limit) 0.075 0.076 0.006 (lower limit) Prominent water (H 2 O/"bowl" type)4V–R=0.45 0.04BB taxon (blue/neutral)equivalent to V-I0.75 0.06, B-V0.68 0.06 and V-R0.39 0.05V−R=0.46 0.06R−I=0.37 0.06 21 4.38 0.054.26 (assumed) 0.0040306 ms / day 2 (455502) 2003 UZ 413 is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) with an absolute magnitude of 4.38. It is in a 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune, making it a plutino. History Discovery thumb|left|The Samuel Oschin telescope, the telescope that discovered 2003 UZ 413. 2003 UZ 413 was discovered on 21 October 2003, by astronomers Michael E. Brown, Chad Trujillo, and David L. Rabinowitz. The discovery took place at the Palomar Observatory in San Diego, California. The team found the moving object using images taken by a wide-field camera mounted on the 1.2-meter Samuel Oschin Telescope. It was given the minor planet number 455502 on 22 February 2016. Further observations 2025 12 26, its orbit has been secured by 513 observations across 29 oppositions, with precovery images as far back as 27 July 1954. Orbit and classification 2003 UZ 413 orbits the Sun at a distance of 30.2–48.0 astronomical units (AU) with a semi-major axis or average orbital distance of 39.1 AU once every 244 yearsbarycentric (for reference, Neptune's orbit is at 30.1 AU). Its orbit has a relatively high eccentricity of 0.23 and an inclination of 12.05° with respect to the ecliptic.barycentric 2003 UZ 413 is classified as a plutino.Plutino 2003 UZ 413 is in a 2:3 resonance with Neptune, which means that when it makes two revolutions around the Sun, Neptune makes exactly three. Physical characteristics Size and albedo September 2026 The mean diameter of 2003 UZ 413 is estimated to be 650 1 175 km, assuming a low albedo of 0.075 0.076 0.006. Rotation, shape and density The object rotates very fast, with a period of about 4.13 hours. It was recognized as the fastest rotator known in the Kuiper belt after Haumea in 2009. Given its rapid rotation, if it is in hydrostatic equilibrium (and thus a dwarf planet) it must have a density higher than 0.72 g/cm3. Stable Jacobi ellipsoids with an axis ratio of a/b ≥ 1.13 0.03, as implied by its light-curve amplitude of Δm 0.13 0.03, exist for densities in the range of 2.29−3.00 g/cm3. Johnston's Archive reports 2.64 g/cm3, in the center of that range. This would make it an outlier among similarly sized TNOs, which usually have significantly lower densities, and are thought to rarely be dwarf planets.W.M. Grundy K.S. Noll M.W. Buie S.D. Benecchi D.

Water and carbon dioxide ices are present in all three objects. In visible light, this object is neutral or slightly red in color and has a flat, featureless reflectance spectrum. 2003 UZ 413 has a water ice-rich composition, similar to plutinos such as 2004 EW 95 and 2002 XV 93.4 These TNOs are often classified as "prominent water"-type or "Bowl"-type TNOs. Their near-infrared spectra have a bowl-shaped water ice absorption band at around 3.0 um wavelength.4 Notes References 30em Perna D.
