Beyond Jupiter - The World of Distant Minor Planets, (31824) Elatus

JOA 2025, Vol. 15, No. 2, Page 14

Author(s): Konrad Guhl

Abstract: Since 2016, the JOA regularly publishes portraits of objects beyond Jupiter’s orbit. This short communication on the Centaur (31824) Elatus 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 2020.
