Jupiter – friend or foe? III: the Oort cloud comets [PDF]
, 2010 It has long been assumed that the planet Jupiter acts as a giant shield, significantly lowering the impact rate of minor bodies on Earth. However, until recently, very little work had been carried out examining the role played by Jupiter in determining ...

Eight billion asteroids in the Oort cloud [PDF]
, 2014 The Oort cloud is usually thought of as a collection of icy comets inhabiting the outer reaches of the Solar system, but this picture is incomplete. We use simulations of the formation of the Oort cloud to show that ∼4 per cent of the small bodies in the

Dynamical History of the Oort Cloud [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1982 AbstractDynamical studies during the past decade have resulted in an almost explosive increase in our understanding of the Oort cloud of comets, which surrounds the solar system. Cometary orbits in the cloud evolve under the complex interaction of stellar, galactic, and giant molecular cloud perturbations, as well as planetary and nongravitational ...

Main Belt Comets and other “Interlopers” in the Solar System
Universe, 2022 According to traditional ideas about the formation of the Solar System starting from a protoplanetary disk of gas and dust, a well-defined distribution of planets and minor bodies is expected: (a) volatile-poor rocky bodies (terrestrial planets and ...

Spontaneous zonal symmetry breaking of tropical rain belt
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Precipitable‐water snapshots show how a sea surface temperature (SST)‐forced tropical rain belt can remain zonally elongated or spontaneously reorganize into a localized convective cluster. The simulations identify the SST conditions favoring this zonal convective self‐aggregation and relate the transition to changes in boundary‐layer circulation and ...

, 1991 Views of the large-scale structure of the solar system, consisting of the Sun, the nine planets and their satellites, changed when Oort demonstrated that a gigantic cloud of comets (the Oort cloud) is located on the periphery of the solar system.

The Scattered Disk Population and the Oort Cloud [PDF]
, 2022 The trans-Neptunian belt has been subject to a strong depletion that has reduced its primordial population by a factor of one hundred over the solar system’s age.

An Efficient Observational Strategy for the Detection of the Oort Cloud
The Astronomical JournalThe Oort cloud is presumably a pristine relic of the solar system formation. Detection of the Oort cloud may provide information regarding the stellar environment in which the Sun was born and on the planetesimal population during the outer planets ...
