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 Rixin Li, Eugene Chiangdoaj +1 more sourceObservational limits on a distant cold Kuiper belt
, 2002 Almost all the more than 500 known Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) have been discovered within 50 AU of the Sun. One possible explanation for the observed lack of KBOs beyond 50 AU is that the distant Kuiper belt is dynamically very cold and thus thin enough ...R L Allen, R Malhotra, G M Bernsteincore The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). III. Survey Characterization and Simulation Methods
The Astronomical JournalWe present a detailed study of the observational biases of the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project’s B1 data release and survey simulation software that enables direct statistical comparisons between models and our data.Pedro H.

The Astrophysical JournalWe present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large trans-Neptunian object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultation dataset, along with nine other published events, we were able to fit ...Giuliano Margoti, Felipe Braga-Ribas, José Luis Ortiz, Bruno Sicardy, Josselin Desmars, B.

VI. First Multiyear Observations of Trans-Neptunian Objects
The Astronomical JournalWe present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project. Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do not coincide with previously known TNOs and appear to be new discoveries.Hayden Smotherman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Stephen K. N. Portillo, Andrew J. Connolly, J.
