Light Curves of Trans-Neptunian Objects from the K2 Mission of the Kepler Space Telescope

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope allowed the observations of light curves of small solar system bodies throughout the whole solar system. In this paper, we present the results of a collection of K2 trans-Neptunian object observations between ...

Nomenclature in Kuiper Belt [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 2002
AbstractGiven the advances in our understanding of the dynamical structure in the Kuiper Belt since 1990, this paper re-examines nomenclature issues regarding dynamical structures in the belt.

Reassessing the Relationship Between Meteor Radio Afterglows and Optical Persistent Trains

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Meteor radio afterglows (MRAs) and optical persistent trains (PTs) are two types of long‐lived phenomena which are occasionally observed following the occurrence of a meteor. Both phenomena are thought to be produced by intrinsic emission mechanisms; PTs have been associated with chemiluminescent reactions between meteoric metals and ...

Nearby Supernova and Cloud Crossing Effects on the Orbits of Small Bodies in the Solar System

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Supernova (SN) blasts envelop many surrounding stellar systems, transferring kinetic energy to small bodies in the systems. Geologic evidence from ^60 Fe points to recent nearby SN activity within the past several Myr.

Euclid ASTEROSEISMOLOGY AND KUIPER BELT OBJECTS

Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2016
Euclid, which is primarily a dark-energy/cosmology mission, may have a microlensing component, consisting of perhaps four dedicated one-month campaigns aimed at the Galactic bulge. We show that such a program would yield excellent auxilliary science, including asteroseimology detections for about 100,000 giant stars, and detection of about 1000 Kuiper ...

Quantitative Provenance Analysis of the Yangtze and Yellow River Sediments Through Detrital Zircon U‐Pb Geochronology Using an XGBoost Machine Learning Algorithm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Over the past two decades, a large number of zircon U‐Pb ages from the Yangtze and Yellow River Basins have been published, yet distinguishing the sources of sediment between these regions remains challenging. Issues related to sampling, analytical methods, and biases complicate the interpretation of detrital zircon geochronology.

The outer solar system

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2009
The outer solar system extends beyond a heliocentric distance of 5 AU. It contains the giant planets and their systems (rings and satellites), the Kuiper belt, the comets (except those which approach episodically the inner solar system) and, at its outer

A Derivation of the Luminosity Function of the Kuiper Belt from a Broken Power-Law Size Distribution

, 2008
We have derived a model of the Kuiper belt luminosity function exhibited by a broken power-law size distribution. This model allows direct comparison of the observed luminosity function to the underlying size distribution.

The Transition to Tectonic Control of Magmatism in the East African Rift System—The 20 Ma Samburu Event

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Samburu Series magmas of the East African Rift System are a key component of the Early Miocene magmatic resurgence, marking the initiation of plate‐scale volcanic events associated with extension, distinct from the prior continental flood basalt episodes.
