20000 Varuna - Wikipedia
At the time, Varuna was thought to be one of the largest and brightest minor planets in the Solar System due to its relatively high apparent magnitude of 20 for a distant object, which implied that it might be around one-fourth the size of Pluto and comparable in size to the dwarf planet Ceres.
Asteroid Varuna - Space Reference
Varuna is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified Varuna as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth. Varuna orbits the sun every 103,000 days (282.00 years), coming as close as 40.51 AU and reaching as far as 45.37 AU from the sun.
Dwarf planet - Wikipedia
A dwarf planet is a small planetary-mass object that is in direct orbit around the Sun, massive enough to be gravitationally rounded, but insufficient to achieve orbital dominance like the eight classical planets of the Solar System.
Varuna - Astrodienst Astrowiki
It is a large classical Kuiper belt object (Trans-Neptunian), and probably a Dwarf Planet. It rotates rapidly (rare for objects so large, rotational period of approximately 6.34 hours) and hence its shape is probably very elongated (ratio of axis 2:3).
