Band 8 flux density as a function of the distance from the Sun with the diameter as the parameter, in 103 km and next to or atop the curves and arbitrarily limited to 6000 km, i.e., slightly smaller than the diameter of Mars. Both the surface temperature and radius are a priori undetermined. A few known TNOs with their names are shown with red dots (www.minorplanetcenter.org/iau/lists/Sizes.html.). In parentheses, the apparent diameter in milli-arcseconds and the estimated blackbody temperature are given. The size of the ALMA synthesized beam, θ = 120 mas, is given in the upper right corner, confirming that these objects would be point-like to ALMA. The observed Band 8 flux density of the unidentified object is indicated by the horizontal blue-shaded dashed line (± 1σ). The distance to the U source remains to be determined.
