(308193) 2005 CB79 is a trans-Neptunian object that is a member of the Haumea family .[ 9]
Haumea family
As a member of the Haumea family, (308193) 2005 CB79 is suspected of being an icy mantle collisional fragment from dwarf planet Haumea . With an absolute magnitude (H) of 4.7,[ 4] and a Haumea-family albedo of 0.7, this object would have a diameter of 158 km.[ 7]
Observations by Mike Brown in 2012 using the W. M. Keck Observatory suggest that (308193) 2005 CB79 does not have a companion .[ 11]
The + marks 2005 RR43 (B-V=0.77, V-R=0.41) on this color plot of TNOs. All the other Haumea-family members (2005 CB79 : 0.73, 0.37) are located to the lower left of this point.
