[/] Makemake's moon, S/2015 (136472) 1 'Makemake's moon, nicknamed MK2, is as dark as charcoal. This, combined with its orbit, which appears to be aligned edge-on to Earth-based observatories, makes it hard to find. It is no surprise that this moon is discovered in 12015, ten years after Makemake itself.'

[/] The Haumea family 'Haumea doesn't live alone. It has two moons, and is known to have seven similar objects in similar orbits that were put into the same family.'

[/] Quaoar 'The largest named TNO as of 12016. It has one asteroid moon, named Weywot.'

[X] Sedna 'Sedna is a red-colored TNO famous for its orbit. It is impossible to measure Sedna's mass due to the lack of satellites. A probe flyby would be required.'

[/] Orcus 'Also known as 'anti-Pluto', Orcus belongs to the plutino subgroup, or objects which is locked in 2:3 with Neptune. It has one moon, Vanth. The size of Vanth is exceptionally large.'

[/] Salacia 'Salacia is an unremarkable asteroid with one moon, Actaea.'

[|] Varda 

[|] Varuna 

[X] Ixion 'It has no known moon, so it is not possible to find its mass.'

[X] Chaos 'It has no known moon, so it is not possible to find its mass.'

[X] Huya 'It has one known moon, but the orbital period of the moon is not yet measured.'

[/] Sila–Nunam 'It is a binary system composed of two dwarf planets. The secondary object is almost the size of the primary object.'

[/] Altjira 'Another binary system. The companion, S/2007 (148780) 1, is almost the size of Altjira. The inclination of the companion makes navigation within the system a daunting task.'

[/] Ceto 'Being both centaur and TNO, this object has very strange orbit. The current orbit brings it further than Eris, then back inward nearer to Sol than Uranus.'

[/] Borasisi 'Navigation in this system can be difficult due to the presence of another companion of similar mass, Pabu.'

[|] Chariklo 'The largest known centaur. It is known to have not one, but two rings. it is a big surprise to the astronomers that an object this small can have dense rings. There could be shepherd moons in place, or the rings are just very young.'

[|] Chiron 'The second largest known centaur. It also have two rings, with nearly identical structures to Chariklo's one. It is noted that both rings are within their respective Roche limit.'
