2007 VL 305 is a Neptune Trojan that was discovered on November 4, 2007 as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey . It was first recorded on November 5, 2005 and was the sixth such object to be discovered. It has the same orbital period as Neptune and moves around the Lagrange point L 4 , 60 degrees before Neptune.
The slope is 28 degrees. This is the highest orbital inclination of all known Neptune Trojans (as of September 2009).
With an absolute brightness of 8.0, the diameter is between 65 and 150 km.
He was observed 24 times across 4 oppositions.
