(606357) 2017 UV 43 is a centaur from the outer Solar System, approximately 8 km mi off 1 us in diameter. It was discovered by the Mount Lemmon Survey on 13 March 2005. The unusual minor planet follows an orbit similar to those of the fragments of comet Shoemaker–Levy 9. This minor planet was numbered 606357 (606357) by the Minor Planet Center on 27 October 2021 (M.P.C. 136418). 2021 11, it has not yet been named.
Description
2017 UV 43 is classified as an unusual object and centaur. It was first observed by the Mount Lemmon Survey on 13 March 2005. Previously, before the identification with 2005 EE 207 was made, the first observation was made on 27 October 2017 by the Pan-STARRS program at Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii, United States.
It orbits the Sun at a distance of 5.0–8.5 AU once every 17 years and 6 months (6,387 days; semi-major axis of 6.74 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its first observation by the Mount Lemmon Survey in March 2005.
Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9
As of December 2017, 2017 UV 43 has an orbit similar to the average one of the fragments of comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 (semi-major axis: 6.81 0.04 AU , eccentricity: 0.210 0.004, inclination: 5.87 0.08 °, longitude of the ascending node: 220.8 0.2 ° and argument of perihelion: 354.98 0.05 °).
