Numerical Investigation of the Cohesive Strength Regime of the Bilobated Arrokoth after the Sky-crater-forming Impact Event

The Planetary Science Journal
In 2019, NASA’s New Horizons mission, using the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager, revealed Arrokoth’s bilobated shape and a large impact-crater-like region (“Sky”) on the small lobe, which is ∼7 km wide and ∼1 km deep. Given that this depression takes up

The Kuiper Belt and Other Debris Disks

, 2008
We discuss the current knowledge of the Solar system, focusing on bodies in the outer regions, on the information they provide concerning Solar system formation, and on the possible relationships that may exist between our system and the debris disks of ...

In Situ Formation of the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt

The Astrophysical Journal
Cold classical Kuiper Belt objects (CCKBOs) are considered first-generation planetesimals that formed 42–47 au from the Sun and have remained untouched since. Formation is thought to proceed by clumping of dust particles in protoplanetary disk gas by the

New Horizons: Long-Range Kuiper Belt Targets Observed by the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]

, 2014
We report on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of three Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs), discovered in our dedicated ground-based search campaign, that are candidates for long-range observations from the New Horizons spacecraft: 2011 JY31, 2011 HZ102,

Mutual Events in the Cold Classical Transneptunian Binary System Sila and Nunam

, 2012
Hubble Space Telescope observations between 2001 and 2010 resolved the binary components of the Cold Classical transneptunian object (79360) Sila-Nunam (provisionally designated 1997 CS29).

Limits on Stellar Flybys in the Solar Birth Cluster

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The orbits of small bodies in the outer solar system are particularly sensitive to gravitational perturbations, including stellar flybys. Stellar clusters, with low velocity dispersions and high number densities, can be the source of strong and frequent ...

De-biased Populations of Kuiper Belt Objects from the Deep Ecliptic Survey

, 2013
The Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) discovered hundreds of Kuiper Belt objects from 1998-2005. Follow-up observations yielded 304 objects with good dynamical classifications (Classical, Scattered, Centaur, or 16 mean-motion resonances with Neptune).

Destruction of Binary Minor Planets During Neptune Scattering

, 2010
The existence of extremely wide binaries in the low-inclination component of the Kuiper Belt provides a unique handle on the dynamical history of this population. Some popular frameworks of the formation of the Kuiper Belt suggest that planetesimals were
