Stellar Occultations by Trans-Neptunian Object Satellites: Predictions and Observations

The Planetary Science Journal
With the great success of stellar occultations in probing trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), these observations have become ubiquitous, leading to significant advances in our knowledge of TNOs. As stellar occultation predictions have improved, it has become

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

Identification and dynamical characterization of all numbered asteroids in the von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai resonance inside Jupiter’s orbit

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) mechanism drives secular oscillations of the eccentricity and inclination that can reshape the orbital architecture of small bodies throughout the Solar System.

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

Faint moons orbiting Kuiper Belt objects

, 2010
The Kuiper Belt is a Belt of ice and rocks located beyond the orbit of Neptune; Pluto is considered part of the Kuiper Belt. We used photometric data taken from the Magellan Clay telescope located in the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile.

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 ...
