2060 Chiron spectroscopy is consistent with that used to explain Chiron's long-term brightness variations. The preferred pole of Chiron's rings is, in ecliptic coordinates, "λ" = , "β" = . The rings' width, separation, and optical depths are nearly identical to those of Chariklo's rings, indicating that the same type of structure is responsible for both. Moreover, both their rings are within their respective Roche limits. 2060 Chiron 2060 Chiron (), provisional designation , and also known as 95P/Chiron, is a small solar system body (or minor planet) in the outer Solar System, orbiting the Sun between Saturn and Uranus.

Stability of the Solar System becoming significantly more—or less—elliptical. In calculation, the unknowns include asteroids, the solar quadrupole moment, mass loss from the Sun through radiation and solar wind, drag of solar wind on planetary magnetospheres, galactic tidal forces, and effects from passing stars. Furthermore, the equations of motion describe a process that is inherently serial, so there is little to be gained from using massively parallel computers. The Neptune–Pluto system lies in a 3:2 orbital resonance. C.J. Cohen and E.C. Hubbard at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division discovered this in 1965. Although the resonance itself will remain stable in the short term,
