Dynamical evolution of a clone of 354P. Top panel denotes distinct orbital types the particle occupies during the evolution. MBC – main- belt object, TF – Themis family type object, JFC – Jupiter family comet type object, CL – Centaur type object, LPC – long period comet type object, NEO – near-Earth type object. The lower panels shows variations of semi-major axis, eccentricity and inclination in time. Purple lines denote purely gravitational integrations, while pale-blue and green lines denote integrations which include NG interactions with P = 0.4 and 0.1 respectively. With A2 > 0, the particle evolves outwards Solar System, NG forces affect both semi-major axis and eccentricity. For specific starting values for a and e, there is a possibility that the test particle fulfills the definition for NEOs (q < 1.3 AU and TJ > 3.05) for several revolutions. Then the further increase in semi-major axis and eccentricity evolves the particle towards JFCs and then LPCs type orbits. The integration is stopped at e = 0.9.
