Polarimetry of trans-Neptunian objects (136472) Makemake and (90482) Orcus

, 2012
Context. We study the surface properties of trans-Neptunian populations of solar system bodies. Aims. We investigate the surface characteristics of the dwarf planet (136472) Makemake and the resonant object (90482) Orcus. Methods.

“TNOs are Cool”: A survey of the trans-Neptunian region

, 2020
The goal of this work is to determine the physical characteristics of resonant, detached and scattered disk objects in the trans-Neptunian region, observed mainly in the framework of the “TNOs are Cool” Herschel open time key programme.

The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). VI. First Multiyear Observations of Trans-Neptunian Objects

The Astronomical Journal
We present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project. Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do not coincide with previously known TNOs and appear to be new discoveries.

Photometry of Kuiper Belt Objects in Inner and Outer Mean Motion Resonances with Neptune

The Astronomical Journal
We present a time-resolved photometric survey of Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) trapped in the inner and outer Neptune resonances. Lightcurves and rotational properties provide constraints on the shapes, internal structures, collisional histories, and ...

Generation of Highly Inclined Trans-Neptunian Objects by Planet Nine [PDF]

, 2016
The trans-Neptunian region of the solar system exhibits an intricate dynamical structure, much of which can be explained by an instability-driven orbital history of the giant planets.

Modeling the disintegration of binary trans-Neptunian objects [PDF]

, 2022
We simulated the disintegration of binary trans-Neptunian objects with a mass of 10−10 solar masses at the component mass ratios: 1:1, 1:2, 1:10 without taking into account tidal effects.

Rotational Study of 5:3 and 7:4 Resonant Objects within the Main Classical Trans-Neptunian Belt

The Planetary Science Journal
The 5:3 and 7:4 mean motion resonances of Neptune are at 42.3 and 43.7 au, respectively, and overlap with objects in the classical trans-Neptunian belt (Kuiper Belt).

Limits on Stellar Flybys in the Solar Birth Cluster

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The orbits of small bodies in the outer solar system are particularly sensitive to gravitational perturbations, including stellar flybys. Stellar clusters, with low velocity dispersions and high number densities, can be the source of strong and frequent ...
