'''{{mp|(612533) 2002 XV|93}}''' ([[Astronomy:Provisional designation|provisional designation]] '''{{mp|2002 XV|93}}''') is a [[Astronomy:Trans-Neptunian object|trans-Neptunian object]] (TNO) with an [[Astronomy:Absolute magnitude|absolute magnitude]] of 5.4.<ref name=Herschel/> A 2:3 orbital resonance with [[Astronomy:Neptune|Neptune]] makes it a [[Astronomy:Plutino|plutino]].<ref name="K10O39"/>

It has been observed with [[Astronomy:Precovery|precovery]] images back to 1990.<ref name="jpldata"/>

==Orbit and rotation==
[[File:2002xv93-19920928.gif|left|thumb|Precovery image of {{mp|2003 XV|93}} taken by the [[Organization:Palomar Observatory|Palomar Observatory]] in 1992<ref name="andrew-lowe">{{cite web|url=http://andrew-lowe.ca/2002xv93.htm|title=2002 XV93 Precovery Images|first=Andrew|last=Lowe|website=andrew-lowe.ca}}</ref>]]
{{mp|2002 XV|93}} is locked in 2:3 resonance with Neptune, which means that when it makes two revolutions around the [[Astronomy:Sun|Sun]], Neptune makes exactly three.<ref name="K10O39"/>

The rotation period of this object is not known.
