Detection of Close Kuiper Belt Binaries with HST WFC3

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Binaries in the Kuiper Belt are common. Here we present our analysis of the Solar System Origins Legacy Survey (SSOLS) to show that using a point-spread function (PSF)-fitting method can roughly double the number of binaries identified in that data set ...

Microwave Emission from the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt and the Asteroid Belt Constrained from WMAP

open access: yes, 2011
Objects in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt and the main asteroid belt should emit microwaves that may give rise to extra anisotropy signals in the multipole of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment.

The Kuiper Belt and Other Debris Disks

open access: yes, 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 ...

ALMA 1.3 Millimeter Map of the HD 95086 System

open access: yes, 2017
Planets and minor bodies such as asteroids, Kuiper-belt objects and comets are integral components of a planetary system. Interactions among them leave clues about the formation process of a planetary system.

The New Horizons Extended Mission Target: Arrokoth Search and Discovery

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Following the Pluto flyby of the New Horizons spacecraft, the mission provided a unique opportunity to explore the Kuiper Belt in situ. The possibility existed to fly by a Kuiper Belt object (KBO), as well as to observe additional objects at distances ...

Saturnian Irregular Satellites as a Probe of Kuiper Belt Surface Evolution

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We present the JWST NIRSpec PRISM 0.7–5.3 μ m spectra of Albiorix and Siarnaq and the NIRSpec G235H/G395M 1.7–5.3 μ m spectra of Phoebe, the three largest Saturnian irregular satellites.

LiDO: Exploring the Stable Plutino Parameter Space

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We present a publicly available, high-resolution, filled-parameter-space synthetic distribution of the plutinos, trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) librating in the 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Neptune, with particular focus on the plutinos simultaneously ...

Long-term Dynamical Stability in the Outer Solar System. II. Detailed Secular Evolution of Four Large Regular and Resonant Trans-Neptunian Objects

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The long-term evolution of the outer solar system is subject to the influence of the giant planets, however, perturbations from other massive bodies located in the region imprint secular signatures, which are discernible in long-term simulations. In this
