Distribution of the Minor Planets
The following plots show how the minor planets are distributed with
respect to various orbital elements (and absolute magnitude). The plots
include all numbered objects and all unnumbered objects with multi-opposition
or perturbed long-arc orbits. These plots are updated monthly after the
completion of each batch of Minor
Planet Circulars.
Plots presented here are for your own personal education and may not be
reproduced in any form on any medium without permission.
Histograms
- By semimajor axis
- By eccentricity
- By inclination
- By longitude of the ascending node
- By argument of perihelion
- By longitude of perihelion
- By mean longitude at the current standard epoch
- By perihelion distance
- By aphelion distance
- By absolute magnitude
- Jupiter Trojans: By longitude of the ascending node
- Jupiter Trojans: By absolute magnitude
- NEAs: By absolute magnitude
