(278361) 2007 JJ43

(268361) 2007 JJ43 is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) orbiting the Sun near the outer edge of the Kuiper belt. Based on how bright it appears, it is a possible dwarf planet. Its discovery images were taken in 2007, and its absolute magnitude of 4.4 is one of the twenty brightest exhibited by TNOs. Assuming it has a typical albedo, this would make it roughly the same size as Ixion (about 650–800 km diameter). Mike Brown's website lists it as a "highly likely" dwarf planet. Its diameter is 670±150 km. Studies with Kepler suggest that 2007 JJ43 may have irregular surface features or an irregular shape.
