Template:Mp (provisional designation Template:Mp) is a twotino, that is, a planetoid in a 1:2 orbital resonance with Neptune. It was discovered on November 16, 2002 at the Palomar Observatory. If its derived diameter is correct it would have a higher density than Pluto, which is unusual as it appears to be much smaller than the expected size at which a Kuiper belt object usually becomes solid.
Knowing how many twotinos there are may reveal whether Neptune took roughly 1 million or 10 million years to migrate about 7 AU from its birth location.[1]
Satellite
On February 27, 2007, a natural satellite was reported to be orbiting Template:Mp. It is estimated to be Script error: No such module "val". from the primary, with an orbital period of Script error: No such module "val". days, an eccentricity of Script error: No such module "val". and an inclination of Script error: No such module "val".. Assuming similar albedos, it is a quarter the diameter of its primary, or around Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter.[2]
