Real objects discovered from a vs. e (top) and a vs. i (bottom). Resonances of Neptune are shown as vertical dashed lines, while curves of constant perihelion are dotted. Most discovered objects were TNOs rather than Centaurs, though this survey has the largest Centaur yield of any debiased survey to our knowledge.
