Euclid ASTEROSEISMOLOGY AND KUIPER BELT OBJECTS
Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2016 Euclid, which is primarily a dark-energy/cosmology mission, may have a microlensing component, consisting of perhaps four dedicated one-month campaigns aimed at the Galactic bulge. We show that such a program would yield excellent auxilliary science, including asteroseimology detections for about 100,000 giant stars, and detection of about 1000 Kuiper ...

The New Horizons Extended Mission Target: Arrokoth Search and Discovery
The Planetary Science JournalFollowing the Pluto flyby of the New Horizons spacecraft, the mission provided a unique opportunity to explore the Kuiper Belt in situ. The possibility existed to fly by a Kuiper Belt object (KBO), as well as to observe additional objects at distances ...

Saturnian Irregular Satellites as a Probe of Kuiper Belt Surface Evolution
The Planetary Science JournalWe present the JWST NIRSpec PRISM 0.7–5.3 μ m spectra of Albiorix and Siarnaq and the NIRSpec G235H/G395M 1.7–5.3 μ m spectra of Phoebe, the three largest Saturnian irregular satellites.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2004 When a main sequence star evolves into a red giant and its Kuiper Belt Object's (KBO's) reach a temperature of about 170 K, the dust released during the rapid ice-sublimation of these cometary bodies may lead to a detectable infrared excess at 25 microns, depending upon the mass of the KBO's.

LiDO: Exploring the Stable Plutino Parameter Space
The Planetary Science JournalWe present a publicly available, high-resolution, filled-parameter-space synthetic distribution of the plutinos, trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) librating in the 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Neptune, with particular focus on the plutinos simultaneously ...

, 1999 Our current knowledge of the dynamical structure of the Kuiper Belt is reviewed here. Numerical results on long term orbital evolution and dynamical mechanisms underlying the transport of objects out of the Kuiper Belt are discussed. Scenarios about the origin of the highly non-uniform orbital distribution of Kuiper Belt objects are described, as well ...

The Astronomical JournalThe long-term evolution of the outer solar system is subject to the influence of the giant planets, however, perturbations from other massive bodies located in the region imprint secular signatures, which are discernible in long-term simulations. In this

Geochemical Modeling from the Asteroid Belt to the Kuiper Belt: Systematic Review
EncyclopediaThe 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 JournalThe 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).
