N165 is a designation applied within astronomical catalogs to a specific small Solar System body that has been the subject of telescopic surveys and targeted studies. The object has been indexed in databases maintained by institutions such as the International Astronomical Union, the Minor Planet Center, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the European Space Agency, and appears in literature alongside surveys from observatories like the Palomar Observatory, the Mauna Kea Observatories, and the Very Large Telescope. Its entries intersect datasets from missions and projects including NEOWISE, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Pan-STARRS project, and the Gaia mission.
The alphanumeric tag corresponds to cataloging schemes used by the Minor Planet Center, the International Astronomical Union Working Group for Small Body Nomenclature, and archival systems maintained by the NASA Planetary Data System. Classifiers have debated placement within taxonomies employed by teams at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the European Southern Observatory, and the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics; suggested groupings reference frameworks from the Tholen classification and the SMASS classification as applied in papers from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and the California Institute of Technology. Cross-listings appear in catalogs curated by the Astrophysical Journal editorial teams and datasets used by the International Astronomical Union Minor Planet Center and the Center for Near Earth Object Studies.
Initial detection entries cite survey programs such as NEOWISE, Pan-STARRS, Catalina Sky Survey, and archival plates from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey and follow-up astrometry from facilities including the Keck Observatory, Very Large Telescope, and the Subaru Telescope. Observing campaigns coordinated with teams at the European Space Agency and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory yielded optical photometry reported through channels used by the Minor Planet Center, the International Astronomical Union, and the American Astronomical Society. Subsequent monitoring featured contributions from the Lowell Observatory, the Kitt Peak National Observatory, and amateur networks affiliated with the International Meteor Organization and the American Association of Variable Star Observers. Catalog notices and circulars that referenced the object were distributed alongside releases from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Two Micron All-Sky Survey, and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer project.
Orbital solutions have been refined using astrometric reductions performed by researchers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Center for Near Earth Object Studies and ephemerides produced in concert with the International Celestial Reference Frame resources from Gaia. Analysts compared trajectories to populations characterized in studies by the Spacewatch program, the Pan-STARRS team, and the NEOWISE science consortium. Published parameters reference methodologies from the Minor Planet Center, data releases from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and dynamical models developed at the University of Arizona and the University of California, Berkeley. Estimates of size, rotation period, and albedo draw on photometric inversion techniques used by groups at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and the University of Hawaii.
Spectral classifications were reported in studies employing instrumentation at the Very Large Telescope, the Keck Observatory, and the Gemini Observatory and cross-referenced with taxonomic libraries curated by the SMASS project and researchers at the Planetary Science Institute. Near-infrared and visible spectra compared features against templates from the Tholen classification and databases maintained by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. Findings were discussed in context with meteoritic analogs studied at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History and laboratories at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris. Elemental and mineralogical inferences referenced comparative analyses published in the Icarus (journal) and the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal, and methods aligned with spectroscopy campaigns from the NEOWISE project and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
Research involving numerical simulations, population statistics, and observational campaigns has been conducted by teams at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the European Space Agency, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, and the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Results have been published in outlets such as the Astrophysical Journal, Icarus (journal), and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and presented at conferences organized by the American Geophysical Union, the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society, and workshops hosted by the European Planetary Science Congress. Comparative studies linked the object to populations examined in surveys like Pan-STARRS, Catalina Sky Survey, and NEOWISE, and analytical techniques incorporated resources from the Minor Planet Center, the International Astronomical Union, and the NASA Planetary Data System.
