Talk:(589683) 2010 RF43

Poor data set
Is this really as good as the measurements and analysis get on this one? Has no-one done any closer / more detailed study of it in recent years to better pin down colour/albedo, size, lightcurve, possible rotational period, shape and density from that, looked for a satellite ... all that usual jazz? It seems to stand in stark contrast to items only one to three or four places further up the list of Largest Objects In The Solar System, which are for the most part far better measured and characterised, even if the results are still slightly vague 146.199.60.87 (talk) 05:20, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Precovery observations
I have located several precovery observations of 2010 RF43 and a few other large distant objects, which the MPC has published today. I posted about them here (including images and further information), but I don't want to add those links to the articles myself (due to potential COI): - 2010 RF43 - 2010 JO179 - 54598 Bienor (same link as 2010 RF43) If you believe these links are useful additions to the respective articles, feel free to add them as references.

 * The same is true for a number of Jupiter trojans, including 5027 Androgeos and 5028 Halaesus, each with precoveries from 1953. Renerpho (talk) 08:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
