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 ...
The edge of the Kuiper belt: the Planet X scenario
(Elsevier, 2004-12)
Our goal is to determine whether or not the observed sudden termination of the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt can be the result of perturbations from a hypothetical planet. We investigate the effects that such an object would produce ...
Origin of the peculiar eccentricity distribution of the inner cold Kuiper belt
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-04-01)
Dawson and Murray-Clay (Dawson and Murray-Clay [2012]. Astrophys. J., 750, 43) pointed out that the inner part of the cold population in the Kuiper belt (that with semi major axis a < 43.5 AU) has orbital eccentricities ...
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 ...
Origin of the peculiar eccentricity distribution of the inner cold Kuiper belt
(Elsevier B.V., 2014)
The existence of a planet beyond 50 au and the orbital distribution of the classical Edgeworth–Kuiper-Belt objects
