The name for these objects proposed by astronomer Julio Ángel Fernández was unanimously rejected in favor of the current name. According to the IAU, new Trans-Neptunian objects with an absolute magnitude of less than +1 should be named under the assumption that they are these objects. They have not cleared their orbital path of similarly sized objects, but they have sufficient gravity to have been rounded. Ceres is the only one in the asteroid belt; all the others, including Makemake (MAH-kay MAH-kay) and Eris, are Trans-Neptunian. For 10 points, name this type of celestial body to which Pluto was demoted in 2006, a body that is not quite a planet.
