    (613100) 2005 TN74 (provisional designation 2005 TN74) is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) [a] in a 3:5 resonance with Neptune. [2] [3] It was discovered by Scott S. Sheppard and Chadwick A. Trujillo in 2005.

    Contents

    It was initially suspected of being a Neptune trojan since the first observations gave it a semi-major axis of 30 AU and an orbital eccentricity of 0.16, [4] but further observations showed it to have a semi-major axis of 42.7 AU, a perihelion of 32.1 AU, and an aphelion of 53.4 AU. [1]

    With an absolute magnitude of 7.2, [1] it has an expected diameter in the range of 85 to 240 km. [5]

    It has been observed 19 times over four oppositions. [1]

    Notes

    1. ↑ Most SDOs have a perihelion distance greater than 35 AU and an eccentricity of more than 0.3.
