[wikipedia] Quasi-satellite | "A quasi-satellite is an object in a specific type of co-orbital configuration (1:1 orbital resonance) with a planet (or dwarf planet) where the object stays close to that planet over many orbital periods.A quasi-satellite's orbit around the Sun takes the same time as the planet's, but has a different eccentricity (usually greater), as shown in the diagram. When viewed from the perspective of the planet […]"

wouldn't quasiregular cebewanos have to be in resonance with neptune?
<X>
O_o
<raptop>
yeah
<X>
Resonance with uranus?
<X>
is that even possible?
* raptop
checks definitions
<raptop>
Oh, cubewanos are by definition *not* in a resonance with neptune
<X>
I mean would the eccentricity to be in resonance with uranus be possible, or would it get way too close to the sun?
<X>
resonance with uranus and a trans neptunian object
<raptop>
The definition also excludes that much eccentricity, but it's totally possible for icy bodies to be in resonant orbits with it
<X>
...

quasiregular with the orbit of pluto?
<raptop>
Pluto seems a bit lacking in mass for that

[wikipedia] 10199 Chariklo | "10199 Chariklo is the largest confirmed centaur (small body of the outer Solar System). It orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus, grazing the orbit of Uranus. On 26 March 2014, astronomers announced the discovery of two rings (nicknamed as the rivers Oiapoque and Chuí) around Chariklo by observing a stellar occultation, making it the first minor planet known to have rings.A photometric study in 2001 […]"
