A trans-Neptunian object (TNO), also written transneptunian object, [1] is any minor planet in the Solar System that orbits the Sun at a greater average distance than Neptune, which has an orbital semi-major axis of 30.1 astronomical units (AU).
This is a list of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), which are minor planets in the Solar System that orbit the Sun at a greater distance on average than Neptune, that is, their orbit has a semi-major axis greater than 30.1 astronomical units (AU). The Kuiper belt, scattered disk, and Oort cloud are three conventional divisions of this volume of ...
This is a list of unnumbered trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) first observed since 1993 and grouped by the year of principal provisional designation.The data is sourced from the Minor Planet Center's (MPC) List of Trans Neptunian Objects and List Of Centaurs and Scattered-Disk Objects.
471325 Taowu (provisional designation 2011 KT 19, formerly nicknamed Niku (/ n iː k uː /)) is a trans-Neptunian object whose orbit is tilted 110° with respect to the planets' orbital plane. Thus, it has a nearly polar retrograde orbit around the Sun .
The orbits of Sedna, 2012 VP 113, Leleākūhonua, and other very distant objects along with the predicted orbit of Planet Nine [A] An extreme trans-Neptunian object (ETNO) is a trans-Neptunian object orbiting the Sun well beyond Neptune (30 AU) in the outermost region of the Solar System. An ETNO has a large semi-major axis of at least 150 ...
In astronomy, a resonant trans-Neptunian object is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) in mean-motion orbital resonance with Neptune.The orbital periods of the resonant objects are in a simple integer relations with the period of Neptune, e.g. 1:2, 2:3, etc. Resonant TNOs can be either part of the main Kuiper belt population, or the more distant scattered disc population.
Objects in the Solar System whose orbit lies beyond that of Neptune. ... List of unnumbered trans-Neptunian objects; 0–9. 1996 PW (612051) 1997 SZ10; 1999 OZ3; 2002 ...
(612533) 2002 XV 93 (provisional designation 2002 XV 93) is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) with an absolute magnitude of 5.4. [5] A 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune makes it a plutino. [2] It has been observed with precovery images back to 1990. [3]
