Notes. Spearman-rank correlation tests given the main correlations between the various magnitudes. * Indicates that Eris is excluded. n: number of data points. ρ: Spearman-rank correlation without data error bars. : Spearman-rank correlation accounting for data error bars. p: significance p-value of the correlation. CL(%): confidence level defined as (1-p)·100%. σp: Gaussian-σ equivalent to the significance p-value (see Appendix B for details). D: diameter. rh: heliocentric distance at the time of observation. a: orbital semi-major axis. e: orbital eccentricity. i: orbital inclination with respect to the ecliptic plane. q: perihelion. pV: V-band geometric albedo. The last line shows that rh and q are strongly correlated in our sample.
