Shepherding in a Self-gravitating Disk of Trans-Neptunian Objects. [PDF]
Astron J, 2019 A relatively massive and moderately eccentric disk of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) can effectively counteract apse precession induced by the outer planets, and in the process shepherd highly eccentric members of its population into nearly-stationary ...

FOSSIL. III. Lightcurves of 371 Trans-Neptunian Objects
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 From the first phase of the high-cadence Formation of the Outer Solar System: an Icy Legacy (FOSSIL) survey, we analyzed lightcurves, ranging from one to four nights in length, of 371 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) for periodicity.

Colors and taxonomy of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian Objects [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2009 The study of the surface properties of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) provides essential information about the early conditions and evolution of the outer Solar System. Due to the faintness of most of these distant and icy bodies, photometry

Col-OSSOS: The Distribution of Surface Classes in Neptune's Resonances
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The distribution of surface classes of resonant trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) provides constraints on the protoplanetesimal disk and giant planet migration.

Trans–Neptunian objects' surface properties [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005 Recent observations in visible photometry have provided B, V, R and I high quality colors for more than 130 objects. Color diversity is now a reality in the TNOs population. Relevant statistical analyses have been performed and all possible correlations between optical colors and orbital parameters have been analyzed.

The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Within the dynamically cold low-inclination portion of the Classical Kuiper Belt, there exists a population of weakly bound binary systems with a number of unusual properties, most notable of which is their extremely wide orbital separations—beyond 7% of

A Dynamical Survey of the Trans-Neptunian Region. I. Mean-motion Resonances with Neptune
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 In this paper, we present a large-scale dynamical survey of the trans-Neptunian region, with particular attention to mean-motion resonances (MMRs). We study a set of 4121 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), a sample far larger than in previous works.

Modeling Long-Term Photometric Data of Trans-Neptunian Objects and Centaurs
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs are small Solar System bodies that reside in the outer parts of the Solar System. These objects present photometric behaviors that are influenced due to a change in their aspect angle.
