Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar System:
Magnitudes and Colours
O.R. Hainaut, ESO, H. Boehnhardt, MPS, and S. Protopapa, UMd
Orbital parameter plots
The following plots display the object colours, spectral slopes, and
absolute magnitudes as a funcion of
- i, the inclination
- e, the excentricity
- E= sqrt(e^2 + sin^2 i), the orbit's energy
- a, the semi-major axis, and
- H_R =M(1,1), the absolute (R) magnitude
Note that for the M11 (absolute magnitude) plot as a function of
perihelion distance q, the red lines indicate opposition magnitudes of
R=20, 22, 24.
