(524435) 2002 CY248

, provisional designation , is a trans-Neptunian object and weak dwarf-planet candidate from the classical Kuiper belt in the outermost region of the Solar System, approximately in diameter. It was first observed on 6 February 2002, by American astronomer Marc Buie at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, United States.
Orbit and classification.
 orbits the Sun at a distance of 39.4–53.1 AU once every 314 years and 6 months (114,859 days; semi-major axis of 46.2 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins at Kitt Peak with its official first observation on 6 February 2002. A 10-million-year integration of the orbit shows that it is a Classical Kuiper belt object that does not get closer to the Sun than or further than 54 AU.
Physical characteristics.
Based on an absolute magnitude of 5.2, and an assumed albedo of 0.09, the "Johnston archive" estimates a mean-diameter of approximately , while astronomer Michael Brown assumes an albedo of 0.06 and calculates a diameter of using a fainter magnitude of 5.5. Brown also characterizes the object as a "probable dwarf planet", an intermediate category in his classification scheme "(also see list of candidates)".
As of 2018, no rotational lightcurve of this object has been obtained from photometric observations. The object's rotation period, pole and shape remain unknown.
Numbering and naming.
This minor planet was numbered by the Minor Planet Center on 18 May 2019 (). As of 2019, it has not been named.
