Abstract

On the basis of making data processing for the main orbital elements of observed KBOs with reliable orbital elements,orbital semimajor axis,eccentricity and inclination distribution properties of objects in main Kuiper belt from 30 to 50?AU and scattered Kuiper belt beyond 50?AU ware analyzed respectively.The results show that KBOs congregate in the resonant region and resonant KBOs have big orbital eccentricity;Orbital inclination distribution of classical KBOs is bigger than resonant KBOs;Perihelion distance of scattered KBOs are mostly in 30 to 45?AU.
