We report the discovery of the first trans-neptunian object, designated 2004 XR190, with a nearly-cirular orbit beyond the 2:1 mean-motion resonance. Fitting an orbit to 23 astrometric observations spread out over 12 months yields an orbit of a = 57.2 ± 0.4, e = 0.08 ± 0.04, and i = 46.6 •. All viable orbits have perihelia distances q > 49 AU. The very high orbital inclination of this extended ...
