V774104

V774104 is the designation for a trans-Neptunian object, specifically a dwarf planet candidate, located in the Kuiper Belt. It was discovered in 2015 by a team of astronomers using the Pan-STARRS telescope. Its orbital period is estimated to be around 11,500 years, and its orbit is highly eccentric and inclined relative to the plane of the solar system. V774104 is thought to be a relatively large object, with an estimated diameter of approximately 1,000 kilometers. Its surface is believed to be composed of water ice and methane ice, which gives it a reddish hue. The object's discovery is significant because it provides further evidence for the existence of a population of large, distant objects in the outer solar system. Its extreme orbit has led to speculation about its formation and potential interactions with other celestial bodies. Further observations are needed to confirm its status as a dwarf planet and to better understand its physical properties and orbital dynamics. It is a member of the scattered disc, a region of the solar system beyond Neptune where objects have been scattered by the gravitational influence of the giant planets.
