    Origin
    Main article: Haumea family

    1999 OY3 is a candidate member of the Haumea family and probably has a very high albedo.[8]

    Of the known Haumea-family members, 2009 OY3 has the dimmest absolute magnitude (H) of the group at 6.8, suggesting that it is also the smallest member of the group.
