(148209) 2000 CR105, also written as (148209) 2000 CR105, is currently about the seventh-most-distant known object in the Solar System.[6] Considered a detached object,[7][8] it orbits the Sun in a highly eccentric orbit every 3345 years at an average distance of 223 astronomical units (AU).[2]
Suggested diameters of 2000 CR105 are 253 km[3] and 375 km.[4]
2000 CR105 and Sedna differ from scattered-disc objects in that they are not within the gravitational influence of the planet Neptune at their perihelion distances. It is something of a mystery how these objects came to be in their current far-flung orbits. Several hypotheses have been put forward:
- They were pulled from their original positions by a passing star.[9][10]
- They were pulled from their original positions by a very distant and as-yet-undiscovered (albeit unlikely) giant planet.[11]
- They were pulled from their original positions by an as-yet-undiscovered companion star orbiting the Sun: see Nemesis (hypothetical star).[11]
- They were captured from another planetary system during a close encounter early in the Sun's history.[9] According to Kenyon and Bromley, there is a 15% probability that a star like the Sun had an early close encounter, and a 1% probability that outer planetary exchanges would have happened. 2000 CR105 is estimated to be 2–3 times more likely to be a captured planetary object than Sedna.[9]
