2004 KV18

2004 KV18 is the eighth Neptune trojan identified and the second in Neptune's L5 Lagrangian point (trailing Neptune). It is suspected to be around 56 km in mean diameter. As of 2016, it is 38 AU from Neptune. By 2097, it will be 55 AU from Neptune. 2004 KV18 is not a primordial Neptune trojan, and will leave the region on a relatively short time scale. The orbit of a Neptune trojan can only be stable when the eccentricity is less than 0.12. Its lifetime as a trailing Neptune trojan is on the order of 100000 years into the future.
