Plutoid
A plutoid or ice dwarf is a trans-Neptunian dwarf planet , i.e. a body orbiting beyond Neptune that is massive enough to be rounded in shape. The term plutoid was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) working group Committee on Small Bodies Nomenclature , but was rejected by the IAU working group Planetary System Nomenclature . [1] The term plutoid is not widely used by astronomers, though ice dwarf is not uncommon.

On August 24 , 2006 , the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decided to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet , requiring that a planet must " clear the neighbourhood around its orbit." The General Assembly of the IAU further resolved to recognize Pluto as the prototype of a new (as yet unnamed) category of trans-Neptunian objects which the IAU planned on naming a " pluton " or a " plutonian object". The former was rejected, in part because " pluton " is actually a pre-existing geology term, and many geological experts wrote in complaints pointing this out, and the latter was rejected as well due to the pre-existing definition of "Plutonian". Many astronomers are continuing to use the term " ice dwarf " to describe such objects, following the precedent of calling the four largest planets " gas giants ". |
