| Nov 14, 2020 at 14:59 | comment | added | John | Thank you again. All of them are pretty small, especially the two Centaurs, but their inclination is similar to that of the 8 planets, so why do you say relaxed search criteria? Planet Mercury has an inclination of 7.01° to the ecliptic, we may consider that the upper border, and all the four bodies are within. | |
| Nov 14, 2020 at 14:13 | comment | added | Mike G | @John Relaxing the search criteria above yields Centaurs Hylonome and Echeclus and TNOs Sila-Nunam and Praamzius among others. | |
| Nov 14, 2020 at 6:22 | comment | added | John | Thank you. I was looking especially for named objects, but Mr. Ghosh's Wikipedia link provides some: Albion, Arrokoth (Ultima Thule) and Logos. Since Arrokoth and Logos are (contact-)binary objects, especially the celestial body Albion is the kind of object I was looking for. | |
