}}{{mp|(127546) 2002 XU|93}}, provisional designation {{mp|2002 XU|93}}, is a trans-Neptunian object and centaur on highly inclined and eccentric orbit in the outer region of the Solar System. It measures approximately {{convert|170|km|mi|sp=us}} in diameter and is one of few objects with such an unusual orbit. It was discovered on 4 December 2002, by American astronomer Marc Buie at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, United States.[1]

Orbit and classification

{{mp|2002 XU|93}} orbits the Sun at a distance of 21–114 AU once every 552 years and 1 month (201,654 days; semi-major axis of 67.3 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.69 and an inclination of 78° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Kitt Peak in December 2002.[1]

This object belongs to the short-lived population of centaurs. Generically, it is also classified as a trans-Neptunian object as its semi-major axis is larger than Neptune's 30.1 AU. Due to this highly inclined and eccentric orbit, and with a Tisserand's parameter of only 1.167, its cometary-like orbit resembles that of the damocloid and extended-centaur population. It is one of few objects with and inclination above 60° and a perihelion below 15 AU, along with the first discovered {{mpl|2008 KV|42}}.[23]

Physical characteristics

{{mp|2002 XU|93}} has a BB–BR taxonomy type.[5] It shows only a moderately red surface with a spectral gradient similar to the known comets, extinct comets, Jupiter trojans, Neptune trojans, irregular satellites and damocloids.[17]

With a B–R magnitude of 1.2,[17]{{rp|23}} the difference between the blue and red filter magnitude, it is still redder than the spectrum of the Sun (which is 1.02 mag).[5] It has an absolute magnitude of 8.0.

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, {{mp|2002 XU|93}} measures 170 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an low albedo of 0.04.[10] The Johnston{{'s}} archive gives a mean-diameter of {{convert|164|km|mi|sp=us}} and albedo of 0.038 from various measurement,[5] while astronomer Michael Brown gives an albedo of 0.04 and a diameter of {{convert|180|km|mi|sp=us}} from radiometric observations, listing an absolute magnitude of 7.9. Due to its small size, Brown does not consider it to be dwarf-planet candidate, grouping it into the "probably not"-category of his classification scheme (also see list of candidates).[11]

Rotation period

As of 2018, no rotational lightcurve of this object has been obtained from photometric observations. The object's rotation period, pole and shape remain unknown.[33]

Numbering and naming

This minor planet was numbered by the Minor Planet Center on 14 March 2006 ({{small|M.P.C. 56238}}).[34] It has not yet received an official name.[1]
