2005 VD

2005 VD is a centaur and damocloid.

Classification

2005 VD has a semi-major axis greater than Jupiter and almost crosses the orbit of Jupiter when near perihelion. Both JPL and the Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) classify it as a centaur. But the Minor Planet Center (MPC) does not list it on their list of centaurs.

Lowell Observatory also has it listed as a damocloid asteroid.
