New features in the structure of the classical Kuiper Belt
, 2016 International audienceWe report fascinating new dynamical structures emerging from a higher precision view of the classical Kuiper belt (the plentiful non-resonant orbits with semimajor axes in roughly the a=35-60 au range).

In Situ Formation of the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt
The Astrophysical JournalCold 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

Keck Pencil-Beam Survey for Faint Kuiper Belt Objects [PDF]
, 1999 We present the results of a pencil-beam survey of the Kuiper Belt using the Keck 10 m telescope. A single 0.01 deg^2 field is imaged 29 times for a total integration time of 4.8 hr.

THE SECULAR EVOLUTION OF THE PRIMORDIAL KUIPER BELT [PDF]
, 2003 A model that rapidly computes the secular evolution of a gravitating disk-planet system is developed. The disk is treated as a nested set of gravitating rings, with the rings’/planets ’ time evolution being governed by the classical Laplace-Lagrange ...

Limits on Stellar Flybys in the Solar Birth Cluster
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe 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 ...

A search for volatile ices on the surfaces of cold classical Kuiper Belt Objects
, 2013 The surprisingly complex dynamical distribution of small bodies among and beyond the orbits of the planets has changed our understanding of Solar System evolution and planetary migration.

Water ice in the Kuiper belt [PDF]
, 2012 We examine a large collection of low-resolution near-infrared spectra of Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) and centaurs in an attempt to understand the presence of water ice in the Kuiper Belt.
