A criterion to classify asteroids and comets based on the orbital parameters

Abstract
We also analyse the available photometric data of ACOs to identify possible large brightness variations. Among the sample of ACOs, there is only one object with brightness variations typical of an active comet: 174P/(60558) Echeclus. But this object has already been double classified as asteroid and comet.
