JWST Spectroscopy of a Blue Binary Cold Classical Kuiper Belt Object
The Planetary Science JournalWe present observations of two binary systems within the cold classical region of the Kuiper Belt—2001 XR254 and 2016 BP81—obtained with the JWST Near-Infrared Spectrograph.

The Tidal Potential of a Homogeneous Torus with an Elliptical Section of the Sleeve
Open Astronomy, 2016 In this paper the problem of the tidal potential of a homogeneous gravitating torus with an elliptical cross-section sleeve is solved. In particular, the potentials in analytical form in the vicinity of the center of the torus and its external region are

Calculating the Area within the Orbit of Arrokoth
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two, 2020 The area within the orbit of the Kuiper Belt object (KBO) Arrokoth (or 2014MU69) is approximated using the corresponding ellipse. The fact that the Sun lies at a focus of the ellipse is of interest.

, 2016 We suggest that in the rare case of an Intermediate-Luminosity Optical Transient (ILOTs) event, evaporation of extra-solar Kuiper belt objects (ExtraKBOs) at distances of d ~ 500 - 10000AU from the ILOT can be detected. If the ILOT lasts for 1 month to a

Neptune's Migration into a Stirred-Up Kuiper Belt: A Detailed Comparison of Simulations to Observations [PDF]
, 2005 Nbody simulations are used to examine the consequences of Neptune's outward migration into the Kuiper Belt, with the simulated endstates being compared rigorously and quantitatively to the observations. These simulations confirm the findings of Chiang et

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 ...

Collisional Grooming Models of the Kuiper Belt Dust Cloud [PDF]
, 2010 We modeled the 3-D structure of the Kuiper Belt dust cloud at four different dust production rates, incorporating both planet-dust interactions and grain-grain collisions using the collisional grooming algorithm.

Software: Practice and Experience, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 1657-1675, October 2025.ABSTRACT Background Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are redefining the concept of global connectivity, opening up a new world of opportunities for communication services and applications. Purpose The emergence of LEO satellites (SATs) is ushering in a new era of innovation, where new complex technologies are being developed, and the use ...
