The surface composition of large Kuiper belt object 2007 OR10 [PDF]
, 2011 We present photometry and spectra of the large Kuiper belt object 2007 OR10. The data show significant near-infrared absorption features due to water ice.

Atmospheres and surfaces of small bodies and dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2010 Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) are icy relics orbiting the sun beyond Neptune left over from the planetary accretion disk. These bodies act as unique tracers of the chemical, thermal, and dynamical history of our solar system.

On nature of evolution of short-period comets. On the question of short-period comets evolution
Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2007 The main hypothesis of short-period comets evolution are considered. Basing on the performed researches we conclude that the main sources of short-period comets are: main asteroid belt, relict asteroid belts between giant planets and the Kuiper belt.

Modified Newtonian Dynamics as an Alternative to the Planet Nine Hypothesis
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 A new class of Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) that lie beyond Neptune with semimajor axes greater than 250 astronomical units show orbital anomalies that have been interpreted as evidence for an undiscovered ninth planet.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 The existence of a belt of comets in the outer solar system (the “Kuiper belt”) has been postulated for a variety of reasons, including the need for a source for the short-period comets. The existence of the belt seems supported by the discoveries of the trans-Neptunian objects 1992 QB1, 1993 FW, 1993 RO, 1993 RP, 1993 SB, and 1993 SC. If these objects

Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2018 The Kuiper belt includes tens of thousands of large bodies and millions of smaller objects. The main part of the belt objects is located in the annular zone between 39.4 au and 47.8 au from the Sun, the boundaries correspond to the average distances for orbital resonances 3:2 and 2:1 with the motion of Neptune.

The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Within the dynamically cold low-inclination portion of the Classical Kuiper Belt, there exists a population of weakly bound binary systems with a number of unusual properties, most notable of which is their extremely wide orbital separations—beyond 7% of
