2003 LA7
is a resonant trans-Neptunian object that goes around the Sun once for every four times that Neptune goes around. This means it is in a 1:4 orbital resonance with Neptune. Another example of such object in this resonance is.
| Orbit The orbit of "fourtino" 2003 LA7 compared to Pluto and Neptune. | 1:4 Libration Neptune is held stationary at 5 o'clock. |
2003 LA7 is in a 1:4 resonance with the planet Neptune. For every one orbit that it makes, Neptune orbits 4 times.
It is currently 43 AU from the Sun, and will come to perihelion around 2041.
Assuming a generic TNO albedo of 0.09, it is about 231 km in diameter.
It has been observed 26 times over 4 oppositions.
