Dynamics of the Kuiper Belt [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Our current knowledge of the dynamical structure of the Kuiper Belt is reviewed here. Numerical results on long term orbital evolution and dynamical mechanisms underlying the transport of objects out of the Kuiper Belt are discussed.

De-biased Populations of Kuiper Belt Objects from the Deep Ecliptic Survey

open access: yes, 2013
The Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) discovered hundreds of Kuiper Belt objects from 1998-2005. Follow-up observations yielded 304 objects with good dynamical classifications (Classical, Scattered, Centaur, or 16 mean-motion resonances with Neptune).

The Populations of Comet-Like Bodies in the Solar system

open access: yes, 2003
A new classification scheme is introduced for comet-like bodies in the Solar system. It covers the traditional comets as well as the Centaurs and Edgeworth-Kuiper belt objects.

The CFEPS Kuiper Belt Survey: Strategy and Pre-survey Results

open access: yes, 2005
We present the data acquisition strategy and characterization procedures for the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS), a sub-component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey.

Producing Distant Planets by Mutual Scattering of Planetary Embryos

open access: yes, 2017
It is likely that multiple bodies with masses between those of Mars and Earth ("planetary embryos") formed in the outer planetesimal disk of the solar system.

The Kuiper Belt and Other Debris Disks

open access: yes, 2008
We discuss the current knowledge of the Solar system, focusing on bodies in the outer regions, on the information they provide concerning Solar system formation, and on the possible relationships that may exist between our system and the debris disks of ...

Destroying resonance between Neptune and its resonant Kuiper Belt Objects by stochastic planetesimal scatterings

open access: yes, 2011
We revisit the destruction of resonance between Neptune and Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) by random planetesimal scatterings, which has been studied by Murray-Clay and Chiang (2006) previously. In this work, we consider the encounters between Neptune's resonant KBOs and planetesimals and the Levy flight behavior of resonant KBOs corresponding to a single ...
