Plutino

In astronomy, a plutino is a trans-Neptunian object in 2:3 mean-motion resonance with Neptune. For every 2 orbits that a plutino makes, Neptune orbits 3 times. The term "plutino" derived from the dwarf planet Pluto, the largest and the first plutino discovered. The term does not imply common physical characteristics. Plutinos are named after mythological creatures associated with the underworld. Aside from Pluto itself, the first plutino, (385185) 1993 RO, was discovered on September 16, 1993.
