Nearby Supernova and Cloud Crossing Effects on the Orbits of Small Bodies in the Solar System
The Astrophysical Journal LettersSupernova (SN) blasts envelop many surrounding stellar systems, transferring kinetic energy to small bodies in the systems. Geologic evidence from ^60 Fe points to recent nearby SN activity within the past several Myr.

Global Analysis of Storm Surge Seasonality
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract We perform the first global analysis of storm surge seasonality using surge data from a global hydrodynamic model with full coverage of coastal areas, providing valuable insights for regions not represented in alternative observational data sources. We apply directional statistics based on the mixture model of the von Mises‐Fisher distribution

Basin Research, Volume 37, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Deep gorges with abrupt river elbows and high‐elevation, low‐relief interfluves containing fluvial sedimentary rocks characterize southeastern Tibet. This transient landscape reflects Eocene to present drainage divide migrations and river captures, reshaping catchment boundaries through episodic exchanges of drainage area between neighboring basins ...

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2009 The outer solar system extends beyond a heliocentric distance of 5 AU. It contains the giant planets and their systems (rings and satellites), the Kuiper belt, the comets (except those which approach episodically the inner solar system) and, at its outer

Survey of Cryogenic Nitrogen Thermomechanical Property Data Relevant to Outer Solar System Bodies
Earth and Space Science, 2020 The outer Solar System has many bodies of interest that have continued to captivate the planetary science community, recently Triton, a captured Kuiper belt object (KBO) of Neptune, and Pluto.

On the Early Thermal Processing of Planetesimals during and after the Giant Planet Instability
The Planetary Science JournalBorn as ice-rich planetesimals, cometary nuclei were gravitationally scattered onto their current orbits in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud during the giant planets’ dynamical instability in the early stages of our solar system’s history.

, 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.

Detection of Close Kuiper Belt Binaries with HST WFC3
The Planetary Science JournalBinaries in the Kuiper Belt are common. Here we present our analysis of the Solar System Origins Legacy Survey (SSOLS) to show that using a point-spread function (PSF)-fitting method can roughly double the number of binaries identified in that data set ...
