Makemake [e] (minor-planet designation: 136472 Makemake) is a dwarf planet and the largest of what is known as the classical population of Kuiper belt objects, [b] with a diameter approximately that of Saturn's moon Iapetus, or 60% that of Pluto. [24] [25] It has one known satellite. [26]

S/2015 (136472) 1, unofficially nicknamed MK2 by the discovery team, [2] is the only known moon of the trans-Neptunian dwarf planet Makemake. [1] [4] It is estimated to be 175 km (110 mi) in diameter and has a semi-major axis of at least 21,000 km (13,000 mi) from Makemake. [1] Its orbital period is at least 12 days if it has a circular orbit.
(42301) 2001 UR 163 (provisional designation 2001 UR 163) is a resonant trans-Neptunian object and possible dwarf planet located in the outermost region of the Solar System.The object measures approximately 352 kilometers (220 miles) in diameter with a high albedo and stays in an uncommon orbital resonance with Neptune.
Precovery image of 2005 RM 43 taken by the Siding Spring Observatory in 1976 [9]. 2005 RM 43 is considered likely to be a dwarf planet by both Brown and Tancredi. [8] [10] Based on an absolute magnitude of 4.4, the body's diameter could be anywhere in the range of 350 to 800 kilometres (km), depending on its albedo, the surface reflectivity of the object. [11]

M. E. Brown estimates that is very likely a dwarf planet. [9] A diameter of 680 ± 34 km has been determined from combined observations of the Herschel and Spitzer space telescopes. [ 5 ] Tancredi notes that light-curve-amplitude analysis shows only small deviations, suggesting that (90568) 2004 GV 9 could be a spheroid with small albedo spots ...
