(471196) 2010 PK66, constant and lasting automatic processes

(471196) 2010 PK66 is a classical Kuiper belt object discovered in August of 2010. It reached the perihelion in April of 1930.

The orbit is completely circular and is located in the core of the Kuiper belt. It has a perihelion of 40.46 AU and an aphelion of 40.84 AU. The semimajor axis is at 40.65 AU. It has an orbital period of 259 years. It has an inclination of 13.6º. 


Orbital resonance:
7:11 with Neptune (99.9%)
-
12:11 with Varuna (99.8%)
11:10 with Haumea (99.8%)
17:8 with 2007 OR10 (99.7%)
15:7 with Eris (99.7%)
10:9 with Quaoar (99.6%)
6:5 with Makemake (99.5%)


Limit cycle attractor

(471196) 2010 PK66 is related with constant and lasting automatic processes, such as for example a uniform movement, which never stops, like the train of the movie "Unstoppable" (2010). 


In the theory of dynamical systems these processes are called 'limit cycle attractors' and are represented in the phase space by a circle, which runs indefinitely, as for example the movement of planets in the vacuum of space (without friction), or as the electrons in superconductivity conditions (without electrical resistance).
