    Orbital elements:
    1995 DB2
    The following assumed perihelic 1:2 Neptune-resonance orbital elements
    keep the object more than 24 AU from Neptune over a 14 000-year period.
    A circular solution at r = 40.953 AU has a minimum distance from Neptune
    of 10.8 AU over the same time interval.
