The 1 Gyr evolution of 2025 MH348 and 2025 NN80 in a, e, i, and ϕ = λ − λN. The black points show the best-fit orbit and the colored points show each of the 100 clones sampled from the covariance matrix. The red lines in the bottom panels indicate the libration center of the best-fit orbit (see Table 2).
