Kuiper Belt Object (55565) 2002 AW197 is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). It was discovered on January 10, 2002, by Michael E. Brown et al. It is classified as a cubewano. It is very likely a dwarf planet. Light-curve-amplitude analysis shows only small deviations, suggesting that 2002 AW197 is a spheroid with small albedo spots and hence a dwarf planet.
