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
