Notes. All orbital parameters are from the Minor Planet Center (MPC). The table lists the semi-major axis, the eccentricity, and the inclination of each Centaur as well as the rotational period in hours (errors are presented when available in literature) and light-curve amplitude in magnitudes. The last 3 columns are the taxonomic classification, the visible spectral slope and information on the surface composition (see the description of each Centaur in the text for references). Also in last column there is an indication if the object overlaps with the WISE sample, indicated with (Wise). This table also presents the data for Chiron and Chariklo published in Fornasier et al. (2013).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
