JOA 2024, Vol. 14, No. 2, Page 25

Author(s): Konrad Guhl

Abstract: Since 2016, JOA regularly publishes portraits of objects beyond Jupiter’s orbit. This short communication on the trans-Neptunian object known as (53311) Deucalion tells the story of its discovery, the meaning behind its name and the nature of its orbit. The sizes and physical properties are derived from data published up to 2023.
