(144897) 2004 UX10 is a Kuiper-belt object. It has a diameter of about 398 km. It was discovered on 20 October 2004. The object is either a cubewano or a plutino (in 2:3 resonance with Neptune).
Mike Brown's website lists it as a likely dwarf planet based on its absolute magnitude (H) and assumed albedo.
