• New occultation data provides an additional line of evidence about Aya's size; original diameter value is no longer fixed and the albedo value is slightly adjusted.

Replace “discovered on 10 January 2002 by astronomers at Palomar Observatory Aya is a large object most likely at least 700 km in diameter It has a rotation period of 8 8 hours and” with “discovered on 10 January 2002 by astronomers at Palomar Observatory Aya is around in diameter with no rings or atmosphere beyond 90 nanobar s of”. Replace “Aya has a dark reddish surface with a geometric albedo of about 11 The visible and near infrared spectrum of Aya lacks obvious absorption features.” with “Aya has a dark reddish surface with a geometric albedo of about 10 The visible and near infrared spectrum of Aya lacks obvious absorption features.”. Add: A single stellar occultation observation from 2024 has shown that Aya is.
