From the perspective of Ceres, its orbit traces an analemma.The analemma criterion: accidental quasi-satellites are indeed true quasi-satellites C. de la Fuente Marcos & R. de la Fuente Marcos, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 462, Issue 3, 01 November 2016, Pages 3344–3349 References 2021-10-22 last obs.
