From Centaurs to comets: 40 years
(Elsevier, 2020)
In 1977, while Apple II and Atari computers were being sold, a tiny dot was observed in an inconvenient orbit. The minor body 1977 UB, to be named (2060) Chiron, with an orbit between Saturn and Uranus, became the rst ...
Centaur and giant planet crossing populations: origin and distribution
(Springer, 2020-07)
The current giant planet region is a transitional zone where transneptunian objects (TNOs) cross in their way to becoming Jupiter Family Comets. Their dynamical behavior is conditioned by the intrinsic dynamical features ...
On the dynamical evolution and end states of binary centaurs
(Oxford University Press, 2013-11)
In this paper, we perform a numerical integration of 666 fictitious binary Centaurs coming from the trans Neptunian space. Our population is restricted to tight binaries whose components have sizes between 30 and 100 km. ...

Influence of the Centaurs and TNOs on the main belt and its families
(2016-12-01)
Centaurs are objects whose orbits are found between those of the giant planets. They are supposed to originate mainly from the Trans-Neptunian objects, and they are among the sources of Near-Earth Objects. Trans-Neptunian ...
