[edit] 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.
