(471288) 2011 GM27 (provisional designation 2011 GM27) is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) in the Kuiper belt, classified as a hot classical Kuiper belt object.[2] It was discovered on 2 April 2011, at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile.[1] With an absolute magnitude of 5.32,[3] a geometric albedo of between 0.06 to 0.09 (a typical value) would mean it has a diameter of about 450 kilometers (280 mi).[2]

2011 GM27 orbits the Sun at a distance of 42.4–44.6 AU once every 286 years and 11 months (104,794 days; semi-major axis of 43.5 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.03 and an inclination of 13° with respect to the ecliptic.[3]

It orbits slightly outside a 3:5 resonance with Neptune, taking 16 years (5.5% of its orbit) longer to orbit the Sun than a body in 3:5 resonance. Precovery observations exist dating back to 2006 in SDSS data.[5]
