2003 AZ84 and 2013 FY27 #155

Closed AstroChara closed 10 months ago

AstroChara commented 10 months ago

This commit adds 2 new trans-Neptunian objects: 2003 AZ84 and 2013 FY27. Both are some of the largest known objects orbiting beyond Neptune.

Huya's satellite doesn't have a published orbit either (hopefully not for long!). I think using this as a criterion on whether adding moons or not isn't a good precedent. Not adding 2003 AZ84's moon is understandable, though.

Huya's moon at least have separation and orbital period; 2013 FY27's is even more unconstrained, so I decided to leave it out.

The Huya system's period is also an estimate (see Johnston's Archive, where it is marked with the [*E] code). I presume what Wikipedia is saying isn't supported by this source.
