38628 Huya is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). It is a plutino being in a 2:3 mean motion resonance with Neptune. It has a diameter of 458.0±9.2 km and is possibly a dwarf planet (icy trans-Neptunian objects with a diameter above around 400 km are expected to be spherical) although the IAU has never classified it as such. Light-curve-amplitude analysis which shows only small deviations suggests that it is likely a spheroid with small albedo spots.
