The evolution of a Pluto-like system during the migration of the ice giants
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-01-15)
The planetary migration of the Solar System giant planets in the framework of the Nice model (Tsiganis, K., Games, R., Morbidelli, A., Levison, H.F. [2005]. Nature 435,459-461; Morbidelli, A., Levison, H.F., Tsiganis, K., ...
A multi-chord stellar occultation by the large trans-Neptunian object (174567) Varda
(2020-11-01)
Context. We present results from the first recorded stellar occultation by the large trans-Neptunian object (174567) Varda that was observed on September 10, 2018. Varda belongs to the high-inclination dynamically excited ...
A Southern Sky and Galactic Plane Survey for Bright Kuiper Belt Objects
(2011)
About 2500 square degrees of sky south of declination -25 degrees and/or near the galactic plane were surveyed for bright outer solar system objects. This survey is one of the first large scale southern sky and galactic ...
The origin of (47171) Lempo-like Kuiper belt triple systems during binary-binary interactions
(Oxford University Press, 2020-12)
The trans-Neptunian triple Lempo-Paha-Hiisi is composed of a tight inner binary with components of similar size and an outer companion about half their size orbiting 10 times further away. Large trans-Neptunian objects ...
Exploring the Outer Solar System with the ESSENCE Supernova Survey
(2008)
We report the discovery and orbital determination of 14 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey difference imaging data set. Two additional objects discovered in a similar search of the SDSS-II ...
A dynamical and observational study of an unstable TNO: 59358 (1999CL158)
(EDP Sciences, 2007-12)
Context: The physical surface properties of a trans-Neptunian Object is believed to be mainly produced as a result of interplay between irradiation from different kinds of cosmic rays and collisions. Objects recently ...
An interstellar origin for high-inclination Centaurs
(Oxford Univ Press, 2020-05-01)
We investigate the possible origins of real high-inclination Centaurs and trans-neptunian objects using a high-resolution statistical search for stable orbits that simulates their evolution back in time to the epoch when ...
Dynamical and collisional evolution of Kuiper belt binaries
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-02)
We present numerical simulations of the evolution of synthetic Trans Neptunian Binaries (TNBs) under the influence of solar perturbations, tidal friction, and collisions with the population of Classical Kuiper Belt Object ...
The large trans-Neptunian object 2002 TC302from combined stellar occultation, photometry, and astrometry data
(2020-07-01)
Context. Deriving physical properties of trans-Neptunian objects is important for the understanding of our Solar System. This requires observational efforts and the development of techniques suitable for these studies. ...
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 ...
