Orbit and rotation (208996) 2003 AZ84




contemporary orbits of trans neptunian object 2003 az84


2003 az84 plutino, means in 2:3 orbital resonance neptune, similar of pluto. orbits sun in on 247 earth years. 45.3 au sun , came aphelion (farthest distance sun) in 1982. come perihelion in 2107. simulations deep ecliptic survey (des) show on next 10 million years 2003 az84 not come closer (qmin) 31.6 au sun (it stay farther away neptune).


two rotational lightcurves of minor planet obtained scott sheppard , josé ortiz in 2003 , 2006. lightcurve analysis gave ambiguous rotation period of 6.71 , 6.76 hours brightness variation of 0.14 , 0.10 in magnitude, respectively (u=2/2-).
