(95626) 2002 GZ32 is actually a Centaur, but is included with the TNOs for completeness.
Two new images extend the arc of this well-observed object back to 1995.
The following astrometry was submitted to the Minor Planet Center:
95626 1995 03 29.24097 10 49 16.73 +20 31 15.4 261 95626 1996 05 08.19618 10 59 20.23 +19 52 46.9 261At the end of this page are the elements and residuals before and with the new data. The new orbit is much more accurate because the object has now been observed for 12 years instead of six years (when this astrometry was submitted in 2007).
