Orbital parameter plots

The following plots display the object colors, spectral slopes, and absolute magnitudes as a funcion of

The symbols are defined in the legend.

Note that for the M11 (absolute magnitude) plot as a fumction of perihelion distance q, the red lines indicate opposition magnitudes of R=20, 22, 24.
