Abstract

This paper briefly discusses the Aten, Apollo and Amor asteroid types (collectively referred to as AAAs), their perihelion distribution and orthogonal motion. There are 90 objects in these classes: 6 Atens, 46 Amors and 38 Apollos. The maximum distance to the ecliptic plane of each class follows an exponential function.
