Mean Motion Resonances in the Trans-neptunian RegionI. The 2:3 Resonance with Neptune
The stability of the 2:3 mean motion resonance with Neptune is systematically explored and compared to the observed resonant population. It is shown that orbits with small and moderate amplitudes of the resonant angle are stable over the age of the Solar System. The observed resonant population is distributed within the stability limits. There exists an interval of large resonant amplitudes, wh...
متن کاملDiscovery of the Bright Trans - Neptunian Object 2000 EB 173
We describe the discovery circumstances and photometric properties of 2000 EB173, now one of the brightest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with opposition magnitude mR = 18.9 and also one of the largest Plutinos, found with the drift-scanning camera of the QUEST Collaboration, attached to the 1-m Schmidt telescope of the National Observatory of Venezuela. We measure B − V = 0.99± 0.14 and V −R =...
متن کاملPluto: A Planet or a Trans-Neptunian Object?
The purposes of classification and taxonomy are reviewed. Using examples from fields ranging from paleontology to planetology, I argue that non-exclusive classifications, which allow Pluto to be considered both a planet and a TNO, provide the most desirable approach to progress in our science.
متن کاملPhysical Properties of Trans - Neptunian Object ( 20000 ) Varuna
We present new time-resolved photometric observations of the bright trans-Neptunian object (20000) Varuna and use them to study the rotation period, shape, and color. In observations from 2001 February and April, we find a best-fit two-peaked lightcurve with period 6.3442 ± 0.0002 hr. The peak-to-peak photometric range in the R-band is 0.42± 0.02 mag. We find no rotational variation in colors o...
متن کاملFormation and migration of trans-Neptunian objects
s of the Conference ”Celestial Mechanics 2002: Results and Prospects” (10 14 September 2002, St. Petersburg, Russia), Institute of Applied Astronomy of Russian Academy of Sciences. We support the Eneev’s idea [1] that the largest (with diameter d>100 km) trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) moving now in not very eccentric orbits could be formed directly by the compression of rarefied dust condensati...
