Physical Characteristics
The size of 2003 UZ413 is not known but a reasonable estimate is around 600 km. Given its rapid rotation it must have a density higher than 0.72 g/cm3. Stable Jacobi ellipsoids with an axis ratio of a/b ≥ 1.13 ± 0.03, as implied by its light-curve amplitude of Δm = 0.13 ± 0.03, exist for densities in the range of 2.29−3.00 g/cm3.
In visible light this object is neutral or slightly red in color and has a flat featureless reflectance spectrum.

Famous quotes containing the word physical:
“The entire construct of the “medical model” of “mental illness”Mwhat is it but an analogy? Between physical medicine and psychiatry: the mind is said to be subject to disease in the same manner as the body. But whereas in physical medicine there are verifiable physiological proofs—in damaged or affected tissue, bacteria, inflammation, cellular irregularity—in mental illness alleged socially unacceptable behavior is taken as a symptom, even as proof, of pathology.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
