DescriptionKBO diagram eccentricity.png
English: Distribution of Kuiper belt objects' orbits.
Objects in resonance with Neptune are plotted in red. Classical objects are plotted in blue. Scattered disk objects (not members of the Kuiper Belt) are shown in grey, Sednoids in yellow, extreme detached objects in organge, extended scattered disk objects in magenta, centaurs in green, and other trans-Neptunian objects in dark yellow.
its orbit’s perihelion distance q in AU (horizontal axis)
orbit’s eccentricity e (vertical axis).
The size of the circle illustrates the object’s size relative to others. For a few large objects, the diameter drawn represents actual measurements. For all others, the circles represent the diameter corresponding to the absolute magnitude and an albedo of 0.09 (mean value for medium sized KBOs).
