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

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.

Candidate Members and Age Estimate of the Family of Kuiper Belt Object 2003 EL61 [PDF]

, 2007
The collisional family of Kuiper belt object (KBO) 2003 EL61 opens the possibility for many interesting new studies of processes important in the formation and evolution of the outer solar system. As the first family in the Kuiper belt, it can be studied

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 ...

Collisional Velocities and Rates in Resonant Planetesimal Belts

, 2007
We consider a belt of small bodies around a star, captured in one of the external or 1:1 mean-motion resonances with a massive perturber. The objects in the belt collide with each other.

The Plane of the Kuiper Belt [PDF]

, 2004
We present a robust method for measuring the effective plane of the Kuiper belt. The derived plane has an inclination with respect to the ecliptic of 1º.86 and an ascending node of 81º.6, with a 1 σ error in pole position of the plane of 0º.37. The plane

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.

A Possible Divot in the Size Distribution of the Kuiper Belt's Scattering Objects [PDF]

, 2013
Via joint analysis of a calibrated telescopic survey, which found scattering Kuiper Belt objects, and models of their expected orbital distribution, we measure the form of the scattering object's size distribution.

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.
