(636872) 2014 YX49 (provisional designation 2014 YX49) is a centaur and Uranus co-orbital, approximately 77 kilometers (48 miles) in diameter.
Discovered by the Mount Lemmon Survey on November 21, 2006, it is the second known centaur on a tadpole orbit with Uranus, and the fourth Uranus co-orbital discovered after 83982 Crantor, 2011 QF99 and (472651) 2015 DB216.
[4] Centaur 2014 YX49 is a temporary L4 trojan of Uranus, the second one (2011 QF99 was identified first) to be confirmed as currently trapped in such a resonant state.
Numerical integrations suggest that it may stay within Uranus' co-orbital zone for nearly one million years.
