mp|(55565) 2002 AW|197 is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). It was discovered in 2002 by Michael E. Brown et al. It is classified as a cubewano.

It is one of the largest dwarf planet candidates and is located near the Kuiper cliff.

ize

Observations of thermal emissions by the Spitzer Space Telescope give a diameter of 700 ± 50 km and a large body albedo of 0.17 ± 0.03.

urface

ESO analysis of spectra reveals a strong red slope and no presence of water ice (in contrast to Quaoar, also red) suggesting organic material (see comparison of colours and typical composition inferred from spectra of the TNOs).
