=== SSBN07 classification === An alternative classification, introduced by [[Brett J. Gladman|B. Gladman]], [[Brian G. Marsden|B. Marsden]] and C. van Laerhoven in 2007, uses a 10-million-year orbit integration instead of the Tisserand's parameter. Classical objects are defined as not resonant and not being currently scattered by Neptune.<ref name="ArizonaBook_Gladman2007"> {{cite book |last1=Gladman |first1=B.
