[3] Its spectrum has a weak signature of absorption by water ice.

[10][11] Like Quaoar, it has a very red spectrum,[12][13] which indicates that its surface probably contains many complex, processed organic molecules.

[12] Its light curve shows variations of Δm=0.3 mag, but no period has been determined.

[5] Although dynamically it would have been a good candidate to be a member of the Haumea collisional family, given its red spectrum, it is not.

[7] It has been observed 194 times over 14 oppositions with precovery images back to 1990.
