Formation and Migration of Trans-Neptunian Objects - Proceedings of the conference "Scientific Frontiers in Research of Extrasolar Planets" [PDF]
Some large trans-Neptunian objects could be formed by the compression of rarefied dust condensations, but not by the accumulation of smaller planetesimals. A considerable portion of near-Earth objects could have come from the trans-Neptunian region. Our runs of the evolution of thousands orbits of Jupiter-family comets under the gravitational influence

Migration of Jupiter-family comets and resonant asteroids to near-Earth space [PDF]
We estimated the rate of comet and asteroid collisions with the terrestrial planets by calculating the orbits of 13000 Jupiter-crossing objects (JCOs) and 1300 resonant asteroids and computing the probabilities of collisions based on random-phase approximations and the orbital elements sampled with a 500 yr step.
