Abstract
We report the dynamical classifications of 3357 observed outer solar system objects listed as transneptunian objects (TNOs) or Centaurs by the Minor Planet Center. We use the Gladman et al. classification scheme to identify 28 Jupiter-coupled objects (all secure), 168 Centaurs (all secure), 234 scattering TNOs (70 secure/164 insecure), 204 detached TNOs (118 secure/86 insecure), 1650 classical TNOs (1494 secure/156 insecure), and 1073 resonant TNOs (907 secure, 166 insecure). Among the resonant TNOs, the most observationally populated resonance is the close-in 3:2 MMR with 452 objects, followed by the 2:1 with 105 objects, the 7:4 with 103 objects, the 5:3 with 68 objects, and the 5:2 with 56 objects. We discuss a few notable objects here, but all classifications and plots of the 10 Myr integrations are available in a linked GitHub repository.
