The Effect of Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects in the Long-term Evolution and Leakage Rates of Neptune’s 3:2 and 2:1 Mean Motion Resonances

The Astronomical Journal
The current populations trapped in Neptune’s main mean motion resonances in the Kuiper Belt, Plutinos in the 3:2 and Twotinos in the 2:1, contain some of the best-characterized minor objects in the solar system, given their dynamical importance.

In Situ Formation of the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt

The Astrophysical Journal
Cold classical Kuiper Belt objects (CCKBOs) are considered first-generation planetesimals that formed 42–47 au from the Sun and have remained untouched since. Formation is thought to proceed by clumping of dust particles in protoplanetary disk gas by the

The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). III. Survey Characterization and Simulation Methods

The Astronomical Journal
We present a detailed study of the observational biases of the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project’s B1 data release and survey simulation software that enables direct statistical comparisons between models and our data.

The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). VI. First Multiyear Observations of Trans-Neptunian Objects

The Astronomical Journal
We present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project. Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do not coincide with previously known TNOs and appear to be new discoveries.

heliostack: A Novel Approach to Minor Planet Discovery

The Planetary Science Journal
The study of faint solar system objects is a promising avenue for understanding the origin and evolution of planetary systems. However, such objects are difficult to detect in conventional surveys.

Spectral Diversity of DiSCo’s TNOs Revealed by JWST: Early Sculpting and Late Irradiation

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The spectral diversity of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) is crucial for understanding the processes that led to the formation and evolution of planetesimals in the outer solar system. Using near-IR (NIR) spectra obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope
