The Existence of a Planet beyond 50 AU and the Orbital Distribution of the Classical Edgeworth–Kuiper-Belt Objects

open access: yesIcarus, 2002
We study the effects of a Mars-like planetoid with a semimajor axis at about ∼60 AU orbiting embedded in the primordial Edgeworth–Kuiper belt (EKB). The origin of such an object can be explained in the framework of our current understanding of the origin of the outer Solar System, and a scenario for the orbital transport mechanism to its present ...

All planetesimals born near the Kuiper belt formed as binaries

open access: yesNature Astronomy, 2017
The cold classical Kuiper belt objects have low inclinations and eccentricities and are the only Kuiper belt population suspected to have formed in situ.

Visible and infrared photometry of Kuiper Belt objects: searching for evidence of trends

open access: yesIcarus, 2003
We present new visible–infrared (V−J) observations of 17 Kuiper Belt objects, of which 14 were observed in the visible and infrared wavebands simultaneously to limit the effects of lightcurve variations. Combining these data with our previously published

Investigating Possible Spindown of Arrokoth by Collisions with Small Classical Kuiper Belt Objects

Introduction: The New Horizons flyby of Arrokoth revealed an ancient, contact binary planetesimal [1,2]. Arrokoth’s both lobes’ respective principal axes are aligned within a few degrees [2], and such configuration suggests a co-orbiting Arrokoth before the coalescence of its two lobes [3].
