2013 SY99
2013 SY99, also known by its OSSOS survey designation uo3L91, is a trans-Neptunian object discovered on September 29, 2013 by the Outer Solar System Origins Survey using the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope at Mauna Kea Observatory. This object orbits the Sun between 50 and 1,300 AU (7.5 and 190 billion km), and has a barycentric orbital period of nearly 20,000 years.


2013 SY99
It has the second largest semi-major axis yet detected for an orbit with a perihelion beyond the zone of strong influence of Neptune (q > 38), second only to 541132 Leleākūhonua, but exceeding the semi-major axes of Sedna, 2012 VP113 and 2010 GB174. 2013 SY99 has one of highest perihelia of any known extreme trans-Neptunian object, behind sednoids including Sedna (76 AU), 2012 VP113 (80 AU), and Leleākūhonua (65 AU).


2013 SY99, Discovery
According to astronomers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin, the discovery of 2013 SY99 provides additional evidence for the existence of Planet Nine, but Michele Bannister (see 10463), one of the astronomers who reported the discovery of this object, counters that it travels an orbit that is almost within the plane of the Solar System, rather than being tilted at high angles, as might be expected if it were being shepherded by a Planet Nine.


2013 SY99, Discovery
Its existence was announced in 2016, but the observations were kept private until 2017. It was listed at the Minor Planet Center and the JPL Small-Body Database on 6 April 2017 with a three-year observation arc and an epoch 2017 heliocentric orbital period of 17,500 years. Barycentric orbital solutions, however, are more stable for objects on multi-thousand year orbits, and the barycentric period for 2013 SY99 is 19,700 years.


2013 SY99, Discovery
As of April 2019, its perihelion distance of q=50.029±0.056 AU and semi-major axis a=690±22 AU make 2013 SY99 a possible sednoid, according to the most common definition of the term (q>50 AU, a>150 AU). It is listed as a sednoid by some. However, 2013 SY99 is usually considered to be an extreme trans-Neptunian object and not a sednoid, due to its high eccentricity which makes the heliocentric orbit unstable. In the heliocentric reference frame, the perihelion is currently rising, and the nominal orbit has a perihelion distance above 50 AU only since October 2018.


2013 SY99, Discovery
2013 SY99 is estimated to be about 250 km (160 mi) in diameter and moderately red in color. In 2052 it will be roughly 20.3 AU (3.04 billion km) from Neptune. It will come to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) around 2055 when it will be 50 AU (7.5 billion km) from the Sun.

2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash
The 2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash occurred in the early morning hours of 15 January 2013. A passenger train started to move without authorization, with only a cleaning lady on board. It overran a set of buffer stops and crashed into a block of flats in Saltsjöbaden, Sweden. The cleaning lady was at first suspected of having "stolen" the train, but was later cleared of blame, as the train was found to have started moving because of violation of safety procedures.


2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash, Incident
On 15 January 2013, a Saltsjöbanan commuter train crashed into a residential building in the Stockholm suburb of Saltsjöbaden, seriously injuring a cleaning lady who was in the train at the time. Travelling through two stations at 50 mph (80 km/h), the train derailed, running into the ground-floor kitchen of a house. The woman's condition was described as "serious but stable" in hospital. None of the five people who were inside the house at the time of the crash were hurt.


2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash, Incident
Bertil Grandinson, a resident on the top floor of the house, explained: "We woke up at half past two by a terrible bang. It was as if an aeroplane crashed. I looked out the window and noted then to my great surprise that the train had run into the house. It is terrible and very shocking".


2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash, Incident
Police spokesman Ulf Lindgren said: "It's incredibly lucky that no one in the house was injured. The head of the emergency services crew has ordered the house to be evacuated for safety reasons".


2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash, Investigation and aftermath
Initially media reports suggested the train had been stolen by a 20-year-old cleaning woman; however, the train owner Storstockholms Lokaltrafik and operator Arriva spokespeople later apologised for this explanation and suggested that it was only ever an initial hypothesis, which they should not have shared with the media in such a way. As of 20 January 2013, the cleaner's union, SEKO, was reportedly considering legal action for defamation on her behalf.


2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash, Investigation and aftermath
Two weeks after the accident the cleaner claimed not to remember anything about the incident. The cleaner was cleared of all suspicion by the prosecutor's office on 18 January 2013. The prosecutor alleged that a number of "unfortunate circumstances" and "a number of serious safety breaches on the train and where it was parked" had led to the crash. The investigation was reported to be considering whether or not any laws had been broken in the accident.


2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash, Investigation and aftermath
The remaining train car was removed from the house on 28 January, nearly two weeks after the crash occurred. The stretch of the railway between Neglinge and Saltsjöbaden was closed for maintenance work until mid-September 2013.


2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash, Investigation and aftermath
On 5 May 2014 the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority published  its final report absolving the injured woman of all responsibility. The report states that the "dead man's switch" had been secured in its depressed position with a foreign object, leaving the train stationary with brakes released and the power control lever in full forward power. Only the open doors caused the power to be cut off. After finishing her work, the cleaner entered the motorman's cabin as instructed to close the passenger-doors and exit through the cab door.


2013 Saltsjöbanan train crash, Investigation and aftermath
When she closed the doors, the power to the traction switched in and the train took off. Lacking training, the cleaner could find no way to stop the train. Failure to set points to prevent the train entering the main line made the accident more serious than it would otherwise have been.

The SPÖ lost suffered a swing of almost 16 percentage points, while the ÖVP lost 7.5; despite its losses, the latter became the largest party in the Landtag. The Greens were the main beneficiary of the government's collapse, taking 20% of votes, their best ever result. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) made modest gains, while Team Stronach debuted at 8.3%.

2013 Salzburg state election, Background
After speculative financial investments by the state became known in December 2012, second deputy Governor and finance minister David Brenner resigned. An oversight committee was formed in January to investigate the scandal. Greens leader Astrid Rössler was chosen as committee chairwoman with the support of the ÖVP, over the FPÖ's candidate Friedrich Wiedermann, who was supported by the SPÖ. After concluding its investigation, the oversight committee recommended the dissolution of the Landtag and the calling of early elections. This was pushed by the ÖVP against the will of Governor Burgstaller, but was nonetheless agreed to. The four parliamentary parties agreed to schedule the election for 5 May 2013.


2013 Salzburg state election, Electoral system
The 36 seats of the Landtag of Salzburg are elected via open list proportional representation in a two-step process. The seats are distributed between six multi-member constituencies. For parties to receive any representation in the Landtag, they must either win at least one seat in a constituency directly, or clear a 5 percent state-wide electoral threshold. Seats are distributed in constituencies according to the Hare quota, with any remaining seats allocated using the D'Hondt method at the state level, to ensure overall proportionality between a party's vote share and its share of seats.

2013 Salzburg state election, Aftermath
Despite its losses, the ÖVP was the clear victor of the election, and Haslauer Jr was the prospective new Governor. However, the fragmented parliament promised difficulties in forming a government. He ultimately succeeded in negotiating a coalition with the Greens and Team Stronach. With the exception of Proporz states, this was the first time Team Stronach had joined a state government, with Hans Mayr becoming Minister for Transport, Infrastructure, and Housing. Astrid Rössler of the Greens became deputy Governor alongside two other Greens ministers.
