(16882) 1998 BO13

1998 BO13 is a minor planet designation assigned to a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). It was discovered on January 24, 1998, by David Jewitt, Chad Trujillo, and Jane Luu at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii. 1998 BO13 is classified as a Cubewano, a "classical" Kuiper belt object that orbits beyond Neptune but is not in a stable orbital resonance with Neptune like Pluto and other resonant TNOs. Cubewanos have relatively low eccentricities and inclinations compared to scattered disc objects.

The orbit of 1998 BO13 is characterized by its semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination. These orbital parameters place it firmly within the classical Kuiper Belt. Although its exact size is difficult to determine without precise albedo measurements, based on its absolute magnitude, it is estimated to be relatively small for a TNO, likely less than 200 kilometers in diameter.

Further physical characteristics, such as its surface composition and rotational period, are not well-known due to limited observations. More detailed studies would be necessary to ascertain these properties.
