6. The semimajor axis is the average orbital distance (half the long axis of the elliptical orbit). Mean-motion resonances occur when the orbital period of the trans-neptunian object is near a fractional multiple of a planet. For example, objects near a = 39.4 AU may be in the 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Neptune; Pluto and the so-called plutino population are examples. The 2:1 resonance with Neptune at a = 48 currently marks the outer edge of known objects with low orbital eccentricity.
