    It will come to perihelion around December 2021.[4]

    Assuming a generic TNO albedo of 0.09, it is about 211 km in diameter.[5] The assumed diameter of this object makes it a possible dwarf planet.[6]


    Resonance


    Simulations by Lykawka in 2007 show that (182294) 2001 KU76 may be librating in the 11:6 resonance with Neptune.[2] Buie classifies it as probably in resonance, although some possible orbits do not librate.[3] (182294) 2001 KU76 has a semi-major axis of 45 AU and an orbital period of about 302 years.[1]

    It has been observed 29 times over 6 years and has an orbit quality code of 4.[1]

    The libration of 2001 KU76's nominal orbit. Neptune is the white (stationary) dot at 5 o'clock. Uranus is blue, Saturn yellow, and Jupiter red.
