Until recently the most distant parts of the solar system were thought to be very empty. The outer solar system is principally occupied by the giant gas planets – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune – and tiny Pluto, with a number of long-period comets passing through on their way to the distant Oort Cloud (see box on page 38).

On the Mass of the Kuiper Belt
2006Evidence for the Kuiper Belt (of cometary material just past Neptune) and the processes that shape it are briefly reviewed. A summary of selected estimates of its mass is given. A two-sector model for the belt is summarized. A limit is placed on the amount of mass that could be present in the Kuiper Belt in the form of objects with sizes around a ...

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1999
▪ Abstract The region of the solar system immediately beyond Neptune's orbit is densely populated with small bodies. This region, known as the Kuiper Belt, consists of objects that may predate Neptune, the orbits of which provide a fossil record of processes operative in the young solar system. The Kuiper Belt contains some of the Solar System's most

The Astonishing Redness of Kuiper-Belt Objects
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1998The recently reported extreme redness of a class of Kuiper-belt objects could be yet another indirect indication of extraterrestrial microbiology in the outer solar system.

Review paper for the ESO Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar System Workshop held in Garching, Germany in November 1998 The study of the Kuiper Belt has emerged as one of the leading subjects in planetary science. The Kuiper Belt offers many intriguing clues to the nature of the early solar system, and may also reveal key information about the processes ...
