The New Horizons Extended Mission Target: Arrokoth Search and Discovery

The 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

The 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

The 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

The 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

Geochemical Modeling from the Asteroid Belt to the Kuiper Belt: Systematic Review

Encyclopedia
The high costs and time-consuming nature of space exploration missions are among the major barriers to studying deep space. The lack of samples and limited information make such studies challenging, highlighting the need for innovative solutions ...
