Summary
The distribution and classification of the distant trans-Neptunian Objects.
The characteristics of an object in the graph represent:
- Distance along horizontal axis
- the object's orbital semi-major axis a in Astronomical Units
- orbital period in years (in red)
- Distance along vertical axis - the object's orbital inclination i in degrees
- Size of the circle - the object’s size relative to others:
- for a few large objects, the diameter drawn represents the best current estimates
- for all the others, the diameter of the circle represents the absolute magnitude H of the object.
Families
Centaurs (not formally members of Trans-Neptunian objects, shown for reference only)
Resonant objects - Plutinos and Resonant trans-Neptunian objects
Detached objects (in white)
Data source
Minor Planet Center Orbit database (MPCORB) as of 2008-10-05. Resonant orbits' classification from MPEC Circular 2008-S05 (2008-10-01). Detached objects definition from Jewitt, Lacerda 2008. Diameter estimates include Stansberry et al (Spitzer). See refs in the related articles.
