{{mp|(65407) 2002 RP|120}}, provisional designation {{mp|2002 RP|120}}, is a trans-Neptunian object and damocloid from the outer Solar System. Its orbit is retrograde and comet-like, and has a high eccentricity. It was discovered on 4 September 2002 by astronomers with the LONEOS survey at Anderson Mesa Station, Arizona, in the United States. The unusual object measures approximately {{convert|14.6|km|mi|abbr=off|sp=us}} in diameter and is likely elongated in shape. It is a slow rotator and potentially a tumbler as well.[14] The object was probably ejected from the ecliptic by Neptune.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}

Orbit and classification

{{mp|2002 RP|120}} is a member of the damocloids,[3] with a retrograde orbit and a negative TJupiter of −0.8340. It is also a trans-Neptunian object, as its orbit has a semi-major axis larger than that of Neptune (30.1 AU). The Minor Planet Center lists it as a critical object, centaur, and (other) unusual minor planet due to an orbital eccentricity of more than 0.5.[4]

It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.5–105 AU once every 396 years (semi-major axis of 53.92 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.95 and an inclination of 119° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with a precovery taken by Astrovirtel {{Obscode|I03}} at ESO's La Silla Observatory in February 2001, or 19 months prior to its official discovery observation at Anderson Mesa.[1]

Numbering and naming

This minor planet was permanently numbered {{LoMP|65407|(65407)}} by the Minor Planet Center on 14 June 2003 ({{small|M.P.C. 48994}}).[20] As of 2018, it has not been named.[1]

Physical characteristics

The object has a B–R magnitude of 1.37,[3] typical for most dynamical groups in the outer Solar System.

Rotation period

In October 2010, a rotational lightcurve of {{mp|2002 RP|120}} was obtained from photometric observations by French amateur astronomer René Roy . Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 200 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.6 magnitude, indicative of an elongated, non-spherical shape ({{small|U=2}}).[8] With a rotation period above 100 hours, it is a typical slow rotator.

Diameter and albedo

According to the survey of minor-planet albedos of bodies in a comet-like orbit, carried out by Yanga Fernández in collaboration with David Jewitt and Scott Sheppard at the Institute for Astronomy, Hawaii, {{mp|2002 RP|120}} measures 14.6 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.098.[7] Johnston's archive gives a rounded figure of 15 kilometers.[3]
