Summary

The distribution of the resonant 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 (in white)
- the 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.
vertical bars mark orbital resonances with Neptune; 1:1 marks the position of Neptune’s orbit (and its Trojan asteroids), 2:3 marks the orbit of Pluto and plutinos.

Families

Large cubewanos

Resonant objects - Plutinos and Resonant trans-Neptunian objects

Large Scattered disc objects

Data source

Minor Planet Center Orbit database (MPCORB) as of 2008-10-05. Resonant orbits' classification from MPEC Circular 2008-S05 (2008-10-01). Diameter estimates include Stansberry et al (Spitzer). See refs in the related articles.
