(202421) 2005 UQ513

(202421) 2005 UQ513, also written as 2005 UQ513, is a cubewano with an absolute magnitude of 3.4. Mike Brown's website lists it as a highly likely dwarf planet. (202421) 2005 UQ513's spectrum has a weak signature of absorption by water ice. Like Quaoar, it has a very red spectrum, which indicates that its surface probably contains a lot of complex, processed organic molecules. Its light curve shows variations of Δm=0.3 mag, but no period has been determined.
