(229762) 2007 UK126

(229762) 2007 UK126, also written as (229762) 2007 UK126, is a scattered disc object (SDO) with a bright absolute magnitude of 3.7. This makes it probably a dwarf planet. As of August 2011, Mike Brown lists it as highly likely a dwarf planet. Its light-curve amplitude is estimated to be Δm=0.111 mag. Its orbital eccentricity of 0.49 suggests that it was gravitationally scattered onto its eccentric orbit. It will come to perihelion in February 2046. It has been observed 73 times over 11 oppositions with precovery images back to 1982.
