Description
2008 AP129 orbits the Sun at a distance of 36.1–47.6 AU once every 270 years and 5 months (98,778 days; semi-major axis of 41.8 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.14 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] It has 3 precovery observations back to 1989.[4] Lightcurve analysis gave an ambiguous rotation period of 9.04 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.12 magnitude (U=2).[5][7] 2008 AP129 has been identified as a member of the Haumea family in a dynamical study led by Proudfoot and Ragozzine in 2019.[8]
Numbering and naming
This minor planet was numbered by the Minor Planet Center on 7 February 2012.[9] As of 2018, it has not been named.[4]
