Capturing Trojans and Irregular Satellites - the key required to unlock planetary migration [PDF]
It is now accepted that the Solar system's youth was a dynamic and chaotic time. The giant planets migrated significant distances to reach their current locations, and evidence of that migration's influence on the Solar system abounds.
