[edit] 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.
