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 ...

Col-OSSOS: Investigating the Origins of Different Surfaces in the Primordial Kuiper Belt

The Planetary Science Journal
The Colours of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (Col-OSSOS) measured the optical/near-IR colors of a brightness-complete sample of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs).

Formation of Kuiper Belt Binaries

, 2002
It appears that at least several percent of large Kuiper belt objects are members of wide binaries. Physical collisions are too infrequent to account for their formation. Collisionless gravitational interactions are more promising. These provide two channels for binary formation. In each, the initial step is the formation of a transient binary when two

The Effect of Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects in the Long-term Evolution and Leakage Rates of Neptune’s 3:2 and 2:1 Mean Motion Resonances

The Astronomical Journal
The current populations trapped in Neptune’s main mean motion resonances in the Kuiper Belt, Plutinos in the 3:2 and Twotinos in the 2:1, contain some of the best-characterized minor objects in the solar system, given their dynamical importance.

Binaries in the Kuiper Belt

, 2007
Binaries have played a crucial role many times in the history of modern astronomy and are doing so again in the rapidly evolving exploration of the Kuiper Belt. The large fraction of transneptunian objects that are binary or multiple, 48 such systems are now known, has been an unanticipated windfall.

In Situ Formation of the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt

The Astrophysical Journal
Cold 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

The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). III. Survey Characterization and Simulation Methods

The Astronomical Journal
We 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.

The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). VI. First Multiyear Observations of Trans-Neptunian Objects

The Astronomical Journal
We 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.
