Observations of thermal emissions by Spitzer give a diameter of 700±50km and a higher than expected of albedo 0.17±0.03.
ESO analysis of spectra reveals a strong red slope and no presence of water ice (in contrast to Quaoar, also red) suggesting organic material (see comparison of colours and typical composition inferred from spectra of the TNOs).
