The Edge of the Solar System [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 The population of the Kuiper Belt within 50 AU of the Sun has likely been severely depleted by gravitational perturbations from the giant planets, particularly Neptune. The density of Kuiper Belt objects is expected to be two orders of magnitude higher just beyond 50 AU, where planetary perturbations are insignificant. In 1998 and 1999, we surveyed for

Seismology in the solar system
, 2022 The NASA InSight mission has helped to measure the deep interior of Mars using observations of seismic waves excited by marsquakes. Currently, installation of seismometers on the moon is foreseen. We review the case for seismic experiments on all major planetary bodies of the solar system.

Probing the Edge of the Solar System: Formation of an Unstable Jet-Sheet
, 2003 The Voyager spacecraft is now approaching the edge of the solar system. Near the boundary between the solar system and the interstellar medium we find that an unstable ``jet-sheet'' forms.
