136 472 Makemake 13.086 TNO; dwarf planet Ortiz et al. (2012)
225 088 2007 OR10 14.282 SDO Pál et al. (2016)
307 261 2002 MS4 (b) 2.767 TNO Vilenius et al. (2012)

Notes.

(a)

Density is assumed to be the same as Eris, 2.3 ± 0.3 g cm−3, since both are SDOs and dwarf planets.

(b)

Density is assumed to be the same as Salacia, g cm−3 (Fornasier et al. 2013), since both are TNOs trapped in Neptune’s 1:2 mean motion resonance.
