1999 XS₃₅

1999 XS₃₅ is a near-Earth object discovered in 1999 having a comet-like orbit. Its semi-major axis is 17.8 AU. Its orbital eccentricity is 0.94, which means that at the perihelion 1999 XS₃₅ comes as close as 0.9 AU to the Sun, while at the aphelion it reaches beyond the orbit of Neptune.[2] 1999 XS₃₅ is a damocloid. 1999 XS₃₅ is a small object with an absolute magnitude (H) of 17.2, which implies a size of about 1 km.[4]
