Dynamical Evolution Induced by Planet Nine [PDF]

, 2017
The observational census of trans-Neptunian objects with semi-major axes greater than ~250 AU exhibits unexpected orbital structure that is most readily attributed to gravitational perturbations induced by a yet-undetected, massive planet.

The Edgeworth-Kuiper debris disk [PDF]

, 2010
(Abridged) The Edgeworth-Kuiper belt with its presumed dusty debris is a natural reference for extrsolar debris disks. We employ a new algorithm to eliminate the inclination and the distance selection effects in the known TNO populations to derive ...

Retention of a Primordial Cold Classical Kuiper Belt in an Instability-Driven Model of Solar System Formation [PDF]

, 2011
The cold classical population of the Kuiper belt exhibits a wide variety of unique physical characteristics, which collectively suggest that its dynamical coherence has been maintained through out the solar system's lifetime.

Brownian Motion in Planetary Migration [PDF]

, 2006
A residual planetesimal disk of mass 10-100 Earth masses remained in the outer solar system following the birth of the giant planets, as implied by the existence of the Oort cloud, coagulation requirements for Pluto, and inefficiencies in planet ...

Dynamic Resonance Effects in the Statistical Distributions of Asteroids and Comets

, 2009
Some principles in the distribution of Centaurs and the "Scattered Disk" objects, as well as the Kuiper belt objects for its semi-major axes, eccentricities and inclinations of the orbits have been investigated.

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

The Scattered Disk as the source of the Jupiter Family comets

, 2008
The short period Jupiter family comets (JFCs) are thought to originate in the Kuiper Belt; specifically, a dynamical subclass of the Kuiper Belt known as the `scattered disk' is argued to be the dominant source of JFCs.

The Planet Nine Hypothesis [PDF]

, 2019
Over the course of the past two decades, observational surveys have unveiled the intricate orbital structure of the Kuiper Belt, a field of icy bodies orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune.
