2015 FJ345
2015 FJ345 is a trans-Neptunian object and detached object, located in the scattered disc, the outermost region of the Solar System. It was first observed on 17 March 2015, by a team led by American astronomer Scott Sheppard at the Mauna Kea Observatories, Hawaii, United States. With its perihelion of almost 51 AU, it belongs to a small and poorly understood group of very distant objects with moderate eccentricities. The object is not a dwarf planet candidate as it only measures approximately 120 kilometers (75 miles) in diameter.


2015 FJ345, Discovery and naming
2015 FJ345 was first observed on 17 March 2015, by a team of astronomers led by Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science as part of the survey for distant solar system objects beyond the Kuiper Cliff using the new wide-field cameras on the Subaru and  Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) telescopes.


2015 FJ345, Orbit and classification
2015 FJ345 orbits the Sun at a distance of 50.8–74.8 AU once every 497 years and 10 months (181,824 days; semi-major axis of 62.81 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.19 and an inclination of 35° with respect to the ecliptic.


2015 FJ345, Orbit and classification
The object belongs to the same group as 2004 XR190 ("Buffy"), 2014 FC72, 2014 FZ71 and 2015 KQ174 (also see diagram). With an orbital period of 498 years, it seems to be a resonant trans-Neptunian objects in a 1:3 resonance with Neptune, as several other objects, but with a lower eccentricity (0.19 instead of more than 0.60) and higher perihelia (at 50.8 AU rather than 31–41 AU).


2015 FJ345, Orbit and classification
Considered a scattered and detached object, 2015 FJ345 is particularly unusual as it has an unusually circular orbit for a scattered-disc object (SDO). Although it is thought that traditional scattered-disc objects have been ejected into their current orbits by gravitational interactions with Neptune, the low eccentricity of its orbit and the distance of its perihelion (SDOs generally have highly eccentric orbits and perihelia less than 38 AU) seems hard to reconcile with such celestial mechanics. This has led to some uncertainty as to the current theoretical understanding of the outer Solar System. The theories include close stellar passages, unseen planet/rogue planets/planetary embryos in the early Kuiper belt, and resonance interaction with an outward-migrating Neptune. The Kozai mechanism is capable of transferring orbital eccentricity to a higher inclination.


2015 FJ345, Physical characteristics
2015 FJ345 has a diameter estimated between 117 and 125 kilometers, roughly a quarter the size of 2004 XR190 ("Buffy"), which is estimated at around 500 kilometres (310 mi), roughly a quarter the size of Pluto. It is therefore not a dwarf planet candidate.

Unlike the previous competition, no teams were seeded and given byes to further rounds, with the Football Kenya Federation's media officer John Kariuki explaining the decision as a way of "trying to make the competition more exciting because this being the domestic cup competition, we want the thrill of big teams facing the prospect of losing in the hands of lower-ranked teams."

2015 FXFL season, Relocations and franchise changes
With the Brawlers' sudden contraction, the league shrunk from four teams to three, with the Brooklyn Bolts and traveling Florida Blacktips remaining as they were in 2014. The league's geographic footprint also shrunk so that both teams with home fields are located in the state of New York.


2015 FXFL season, Regular season
The second Blacktips/Bolts game was originally scheduled for Friday, October 30th, but the game was rescheduled to one day earlier due to Game 3 the 2015 World Series, which was to be hosted by the Bolts' parent company, the New York Mets.


2015 FXFL season, Regular season
As was the case in the 2014 season, the last game of the season (the only matchup between the Blacktips and Hudson Valley) was canceled, and no championship was played. As a result, because the Blacktips and Hudson Valley never faced each other, it became impossible to determine a true champion; although Brooklyn technically had the better record, the Blacktips and Bolts split the two-game series between each other 1–1 and the three games' difference between them and the Blacktips was all in games against winless Hudson Valley, whom the Blacktips never got to face.

2015 Faroese general election, Background
On 4 August 2015 the Løgting passed a motion that criticized Prime Minister Kaj Leo Johannesen and former Minister of the Interior Kári P. Højgaard, accusing Johannesen of lying to the Løgting in connection with a 1 million kroner break fee clause in the contract led by the Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners to build a sub-sea tunnel between Eysturoy and Streymoy.


2015 Faroese general election, Background
Although Kaj Leo Johannesen had previously told the Løgting that he had no part of the break fee, a judicial inquiry led by Hans Gammeltoft-Hansen (the Danish ombudsman from 1987 until 2012) confirmed in June 2015 that Kaj Leo Johannesen had knowingly misled the Løgting on several occasions, thereby breaking the law. For some time not much happened, the Prime Minister refused to take any action but went on holiday for a month. The speaker of the Løgting refused to assemble parliament, which had no scheduled meeting before 29 July 2015.

On 29 July Kaj Leo Johannesen gave his annual Ólavsøka speech to the Løgting, ending it by calling general elections. A week later on 4 August, the Løgting assembled to discuss the Johannesen's speech, as the law requires. All 33 members of the Løgting voted yes, including Højgaard. Republic and Progress then demanded a vote of no confidence in Kaj Leo Johannesen, in which 14 MPs voted for the motion, 9 against it and 10 cast blank votes, short of the majority of 17 required to pass the motion.


2015 Faroese general election, Background
Only 9 of 20 MPs from Kaj Leo Johannesen's coalition chose to back him and voted against the motion, including six from his own party, the Speaker Jógvan á Lakjuni from the People's Party and the two MPs from the Centre Party. However, three Union Party MPs cast blank votes, including Deputy Chairman Bárður Nielsen, whilst People's Party chairman Jákup Mikkelsen voted for the motion.
