Summary
DescriptionTheKuiperBelt 55AU Classical.svg |
English: Large classical Kuiper Belt objects (H<4.5).
The position of an object represents
The size of the circle illustrates the object’s size relative to others. For a few large objects, the diameter drawn represents the best current estimates. For all others, the circles represent the absolute magnitude of the object.
The eccentricity of the orbit is shown indirectly by a segment extending from the left (perihelion) to the aphelion to the right. In other words, the segment illustrates the variations of the object's distance from the Sun. Objects with nearly circular orbits will show short segments while highly elliptical orbits will be represented by long segments.
Français : Les grands objets classiques.
La position d’un objet représente
Le diamètre du cercle montre la taille relative de l’objet aux autres. Pour quelques grands objets, le diamètre représente la meilleure estimation connue. Pour tous les autres, le diamètre du cercle représente la magnitude absolue de l’objet. L’excentricité de l’orbite est représentée indirectement par un segment qui s’étend du périhélie à gauche) l’aphélie à droite. En d’autres termes, le segment illustre les variations de la distance du Soleil. Les objets avec des orbites quasi circulaires ont donc des courts segments et les orbites très excentriques sont repérées par des segments longs.Les positions des résonances avec Neptune sont marqués par des traits verticaux; 1:1 marque a position de l’orbite de Neptune (et ses Troyens), 2:3 marque l’orbite de Pluton (et ses lunes) etc. |
