2007 JH43, also written as 2007 JH43, is a trans-Neptunian object with an absolute magnitude of 4.7,[4] which makes it likely a dwarf planet.[6] It came to perihelion around 1888.[4]
Assuming a generic TNO albedo of 0.09, it is about 500 kilometres (310 mi) in diameter.[5]
It has been observed 44 times over eight oppositions, with precovery images back to 1984.[1]
Plutino or scattered?
As of 2014, the Minor Planet Center (MPC) listed 2007 JH43 as a plutino (a trans-Neptunian object in 2:3 mean-motion resonance with Neptune).[1][2] However, the Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) currently shows it as a scattered object, based on a 10-million-year integration of the orbit.[3]
