IAU definition of planet who had theorized on the existence of the large trans-Neptunian object Planet X, and Tombaugh been searching for Planet X when he found Pluto. Almost immediately after its discovery, however, astronomers questioned whether Pluto could be Planet X. Willy Ley wrote a column in 1956 titled "The Demotion of Pluto", stating that it "simply failed to live up to the advance publicity it received as 'Planet X' before its discovery. It has been a disappointment all along, for it did not turn out to be what one could reasonably have expected". In 1978, Pluto's moon Charon was discovered. By measuring
15810 Arawn resonance with Neptune, similarly to dwarf planet Pluto, the largest known plutino. It measures approximately in diameter, based on an absolute magnitude of 7.6, and estimated albedo of 0.1. In April 2016, a rotation period of 5.47 hours was determined for this minor planet. In 2012, Arawn was hypothesized to be in a quasi-satellite loop around Pluto, as part of a recurring pattern, becoming a Plutonian quasi-satellite every 2 Myr and remaining in that phase for nearly 350,000 years. Measurements made by the "New Horizons" probe in 2015 made it possible to calculate the motion of Arawn much more accurately.
