Scientific paper

We examine the dynamics of observed Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) that have been found to be trapped in various mean motion resonances (MMRs) with Neptune. We present the eccentricity, inclination, and libration amplitude distributions for the Plutinos (members of the 3:2 MMR) and several other occupied resonances. These orbital parameter distributions may provide a useful test of the dynamical mechanisms proposed for the origin of resonant KBOs and may help to constrain the nature and extent of Neptune's orbital migration history.
