2018 VM35, is a trans-Neptunian object. With a perihelion distance greater than 40 AU, it is considered a detached object. At its discovery it is only the 10th object known with a perihelion over 45 AU and semimajor axis over 150 AU.[3] With a 89 days observation arc, it is predicted to reach perihelion on August 14, 2057, and closest to earth in February 2058, while only reaching magnitude 24.3.
Orbit and classification
2018 VM35 orbits the Sun at a distance of 45.3–426.6 AU once every 3624 years and 10 months (1,323,959 days; semi-major axis of 235.97 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.81 and an inclination of 8° with respect to the ecliptic.[2]
