abs_magnitude = 3.5mp|2007 UK|126, also written as 2007 UK126, is a
scattered disc object (SDO) with anabsolute magnitude of 3.5. This qualifies it as a dwarf planet candidate. Its eccentricity of 0.48 suggests that it was gravitationally scattered onto its eccentric orbit. It will come to perihelion around 2046.It has been observed 41 times over 7 oppositions.
