No Evidence for Orbital Clustering in the Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Abstract The apparent clustering in longitude of perihelion ϖ and ascending node Ω of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs) has been attributed to the gravitational effects of an unseen 5–10 Earth-mass planet in the outer solar system. To investigate how selection bias may contribute to this clustering, we consider 14 ETNOs discovered ...Napier, K. J., Gerdes, D. W., Lin, Hsing Wen, Hamilton, S. J., Bernstein, G.

, 2014 Hitherto, rings have been found exclusively around the four giant planets in the Solar System1. Rings are natural laboratories in which to study dynamical processes analogous to those that take place during the formation of planetary systems and galaxies.Vanzi, L., Frank, N.R., Spagnotto, Julio, H.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract
The subsurface oceans on icy satellites are potentially habitable. To understand their habitability, we need to know how tracers with various lifetimes distribute. Convection is the main vehicle for tracer transport, and we expect convection on icy satellites to differ from regular rotating convection, because as pressure increases, water's ...Shuang Wang, Wanying Kangwiley +1 more sourceThe dynamical evolution of dwarf planet (136108) Haumea's collisional family: general properties and implications for the trans-Neptunian belt [PDF]

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract
Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, is the only potential ocean world in the inner Solar System. Previous studies identified deposits of aliphatic organics in and around the Ernutet crater, and at small locations at Inamahari and Urvara craters. The origin of organics, either endogenic or exogenic, in these fresh exposures is still R. Sarkar, A. Nathues, M. Hoffmann, E. Cloutis, K. Mengel, P. Singh, G. Thangjam, J. Hernandez, S.
