2002 XV 93 is locked in 2:3 resonance with Neptune, meaning that for every two revolutions it makes around the Sun, Neptune makes exactly three. [ 2 ] The rotation period of this object is currently unknown.
There do exist orbits within these empty regions where objects can survive for the age of the Solar System. These resonances occur when Neptune's orbital period is a precise fraction of that of the object, such as 1:2, or 3:4. If, say, an object orbits the Sun once for every two Neptune orbits, it will only complete half an orbit by the time ...
The orbital period (also revolution period) is the amount of time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object. In astronomy , it usually applies to planets or asteroids orbiting the Sun , moons orbiting planets, exoplanets orbiting other stars , or binary stars .
It has a semi-major axis, orbital period and orbital eccentricity close to that of a plutino. [10] The orbital periods of plutinos cluster around 247.2 years (1.5 times Neptune's orbital period), close to 2002 KX 14 's orbital period. However, 2002 KX 14 is not a plutino, as it is not actually in a resonance with Neptune, and it may have formed ...
Clete orbits near Neptune's L 4 Lagrangian point about 60° ahead of Neptune and thus has the about same orbital period as Neptune. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 28.5–31.6 AU once every 164 years and 9 months (60,182 days; semi-major axis of 30.06 AU).
Kepler-413b is a Neptune sized planet with an orbital period of about 66.262 days. The orbital misalignment of Kepler-413b causes extreme seasonal variations for the planet due to its constantly changing axial tilt.
Laomedeia / ˌ l eɪ ə m ə ˈ d iː ə /, also known as Neptune XII, is a prograde irregular satellite of Neptune. It was discovered by Matthew J. Holman , et al. on August 13, 2002. [ 6 ] Before the announcement of its name on February 3, 2007 (IAUC 8802), it was known as S/2002 N 3 .
2001 KY 76, also written 2001 KY76, is a trans-Neptunian object from the Kuiper belt.It is classified as a plutino, a minor planet locked in a 2:3 mean-motion orbital resonance with the planet Neptune.
